summer prints and refashion

It's going to be lots and lots of print this summer. Last week at Salvation Army, I was so thrilled to spot a cute paisley print skirt amidst a whole rack of gaudy floral print ones . I mean... not that this 90's Ann Taylor skirt looks very exciting but the print is fabulous, and the fabric feels soft and breezy. So I saw the potential of refashioning it into a mullet (high low) skirt. Adin at Chetopian Family refashioned her vintage dress into a gorgeous mullet dress, so I am very inspired to try it myself.

the original skirt didn't look too cute on me, and for some reason, 

the lining kept peeping from under too, which is also not very cute.

 do you like mullet skirts? 

if only my skirt is a little bit longer, it would be perfect!

paisley print, so delicate and pretty

DIY mullet skirt (almost no sew):

Lay the skirt flat with the side facing you. 

Estimate how short you want the front to be. 

Then cut a curve from the front of the skirt all the way to the back.

You don't need to hem it if the fabric doesn't fray. 

As for the skirt lining, cut a straight line across.
