Party Skirt

As you may already know by now, I ♥ hand me downs! Especially when they come from your mother-in-law who has great taste!! I made this skirt for Pearl using an old Tracy Reese pencil skirt. There wasn't a whole lot of fullness to work with, so I did small pleats with an elastic waist band in the back. The light-weight wool is perfect for fall and I was able to make the lining out of the original silk one. Now I kind of wish I'd made it for myself!

Here's Pearl wearing it at my sister's birthday party. Looks like Aunt Lauren might have slipped her a few martinis when I wasn't looking!!
Thanks for the picture Kari!
