D.i. Y. : HI-LO Skirt

Hi;lo or unfortunately named "mullet" skirts have become ubiquitous for spring. They're airy, expected and fun and I completely understand the obsession. We've seen them at McQueen, Lanvin and more recently Michael Kors and Jason Wu.

Now of course you can find a trendy hi-lo skirt just about anywhere.

 With no real source of income and lots of gauzy fabric laying around ive made one myself!

1. Measure a length of elastic to form a waistband. Sew to form loop.
2. Measure enough fabric to reach the floor from your waist.
3. Create a gathered casing for the band of elastic.
4. Sew the ends of the piece of fabric together to form a long tube of fabric.
5. Lay the skirt flat and cut along the bottom to create the hi-lo hem.
6. Hem only 3/8" from the fabric edge.
