I love this tie-skirt!
It is super soft, comfy, and also a memory-skirt at the same time!
For a few years I would snag the ties my hubby would toss in the 'to be donated' pile....
I even snagged some ties at my in-laws house {from their donation pile}.
Finally I couldn't wait any longer and stopped by the thrift store to finish up my collection and get started on the tieskirt.....
I was so excited, and I must say: it turned out pretty cute!
Fun times....
You know for as 'light' as ties are, this skirt is surprisingly warm and 'heavy'....
Great for fall and winter coming up...
:-)
I don't know about you, but I just wash this skirt a home, rather than take it to the dry-cleaners.
- Just throw it in the washing machine with mild detergent. Set the machine on 'hand-wash' cycle.
- Pull it out and hang it up to dry.
- I even touch it up a bit with some steam if I need to.... {or press carefully}
- wear it on you waist, folded over, for a shorter skirt,
- wear it on your hips, for a longer version
Another fun thing you can do to mix things up is to TURN it!
Twist and Shout
- Who says that front is front, and back is back?
- Maybe back is front...
- Or side is front...
- It's all good.....!
Because the T-shirt waist-band is stretchy this skirt fits a variety of sizes even....! How handy is that!
Great for sisters to share and expand their wardrobe...
Or even roommates at college...!
Have a great day!
