A magical skirt

 I recently got a great deal on a dress. At just a couple of dollars, this jersey knit dress was too good to pass up. Since it didn't fit quite right as a dress, I figured I'd deconstruct it and remake it as a skirt.

Since it had a seam at the waist, it was a simple matter to detach the bodice, which I've saved for a future project. I had planned to simply add some pockets, but once I got working on it I decided the fabric was a bit thin so I decided to line it with a contrasting fabric. And for a little extra fun, I made the pockets of the contrasting fabric as well. 



 I'm pretty happy with the overall result, though I may add space helmets to a couple of the unicorns if I can find some silver embroidery thread...
