Tie Skirt - a photo on Flickriver

Tie Skirt

            I made this skirt years ago. It was definitely not my own idea- I saw a lady wearing a tie skirt and totally had to copy her. The ties came from thrift stores, most for very cheap. And they are all silk.

This is version 2.0 because I messed up the first one by taking out the linings and stiffener. Shocking, the ties started to sag at different rates (ties are usually cut on the bias). It looked terrible and I tossed the unsuccessful skirt into a bag. Recently I started turning some of those bits into a pillow case.

So, I had to go and buy a bunch more ties. I attached them by zig-zagging the edges together (no removing anything this time). It makes the skirt a little bulky (especially around the waist) and heavy- not great for hot weather. Awesome for winter.

I get lots of enthusiastic comments when I wear this. The hot, sunny weather has just gotten started, so sadly I will have to retire my skirt until October.
