turning an adult top into a little girl's skirt

Here's a Roxy top with cute embroidery that someone handed down to me but never quite worked for me. Too short, as I remember.

Anyway, I'm glad I held on to it (as I nearly always do...thinking someone someday could re-use it). I attacked it with some scissors:










...sewed down a waistband (I cut so that about 2 cm from the bottom of the bodice remained attached)...










...threaded elastic through, and got a pretty skirt!
