The neckline is actually the bottom hem of the original skirt, so I didn't have to do anything special at all!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-72676198113193944542015-04-05T19:16:19.745-05:002015-04-05T19:16:19.745-05:00The polka dot bias is the perfect thing to spice u...The polka dot bias is the perfect thing to spice up the top.

I see lots of long skirts at the thrift stores, must try...<br />Also, could you give a few more details about how you made the new neckline on the shirt? I try to do this but I don't get each side to line up? Do you cut on a "fold"? Thanks.

The skirt had a side-pocket opening in lieu of a zipper, where the waistband overlapped itself a little bit at the pocket and then had a button to close it up, like <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://cutitoutstitchitup.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/skirt-open-at-waist-2160-x-1620.jpg&imgrefurl=https://cutitoutstitchitup.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/junior-a-line-denim-skirt/&h=1620&w=2160&tbnid=-Py6_5xMBVLaHM:&zoom=1&docid=0kUpVuGoe59gJM&ei=dEcZVdCIEYWfNu-agZAM&tbm=isch&ved=0CEQQMygdMB0" rel="nofollow">this</a>. I just made that side of the bodice with a similar overlap, and when I attached it to the waistband, the same single button still works as it always did! The bodice is sewn together right under the arm, and the skirt is closed from the pocket down, so it's just about 6-8 inches at the waist that can open and close.Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-38763048869485521762015-03-30T07:46:53.495-05:002015-03-30T07:46:53.495-05:00Thanks, Linda!
