Frankenstein is the way forward.

This is something I made the other day. Well I say "made", it's more like I Frankesteined some stuff haha
I took the top half(knee length) of a Monsoon skirt that was previously floor length-but too hard to walk in-and chopped it in half, then I took the remnants of another item, which was the bottom frill part of an M & S Per Una dress(bought for under 1000isk at an outlet store here) that I hacked off. I had already made the top part of that dress into an above the knee version.

I took these two parts and sewed them together, stitching a red ribbon along the join. I wore it out today and it feels lovely.
