As I was clearing out the cupboards ready for a new winter I came across some forgotten outgrown dresses that I couldn’t bear to throw out. I removed the gathered skirts which I attached to some old knitted tops that were too short to be worn by themselves but still fit on the neck and arms. I was pleasantly surprised by their reception! They will work well with some woolly tights or leggings and may even survive one more refashion or repurpose as the gathers mean there is plenty of fabric in the skirt to play with.
