Sun Dress

I was at the thrift store and I saw this super cute skirt for 50 cents. Problem it was not my size, I thought who do I know that is size 6? I don't know plus, I thought, how do I know anyone else would like it. I thought for 50 cents I could not by a zipper fabric and lining for a little dress for Olivia. I planned to take it all apart and use the fabric. When I got home I looked closely at the shirt and realized it was going to be more work than I wanted to unpick the hole thing. So I started to think up some way to modify the skirt into a dress for Livvy with the least amount of work.
This is what I came up with. A little dress with raglan sleeves. I left the zipper in and the sides of the waist band I cut off I reused as sleeves. The dress ended up very wide so I added ties.

Livvy was so good she stood still while I pinned and figured out the design.
