A tuxedo skirt is a slick alternative to an ultra-trendy piece, so refashioning a plain Jane garment into a classic wardrobe essential seems a no-brainer to me. And what girl doesn't love to don a chic skirt that makes her feel cool, calm and collected?

WHAT YOU NEED: --An un-embellished pencil or A-line skirt --One roll of 2 inch wide grosgrain ribbon
Cut ribbon to the length of skirt plus four inches. The grosgrain ribbon can be as wide or narrow as you want. I used 2.5 inch wide ribbon for this project. A wider ribbon would make your tuxedo strip more visible from the front or back.
Fold ribbon under and stitch to wrong side of skirt at waistband
Fold raw edge of ribon under and pin into place at hem.
Pin ribbon down center of side seam. Topstitch both sides close to edge.
Done.
Wear with pride.
