I found this long velvet dress that i had made a couple of years ago...and it looked really terrible. really badly 'hand-made'. so i unstitched it and made it into this skirt. My stle has gotten a bit more gothy since the long dress... i had some cute little cat shaped buttons, so i used one for the back fastening, some black lace around the waistband and went out and bought some red ruffled lace to go round the edge and that random zig-zag thing i got going on. i love it! :-)
