Step 4The Skirt
17. Take the large piece of fabric, that was the skirt on your old dress. Measure and cut the material (this may mean you have to cut down the original seam of the dress and resize it, if it is not your size or the correct style).
18. Pin pleats all the way around the top of the skirt, and sew them together with a seem all the way around the inside of the circle.
19. Next fold the seem over, iron it and sew it down flat.
20. Pin the skirt and corset together while its on a model. Try it on to make any adjustments. Once its perfect, sew the bodice and skirt together.
21. Next stack all of the layers of tool, from your old dress, on top of each other and pin them along the edge.
22. Then sew two seems along the edge using a zigzag stitch, leaving about an inch in between them. Attach a safety pin to a piece of elastic, and thread it through the casing.
