It's already very lovely.
Here's an idea, do you still have fabric from the top? Maybe you can add a little of it in the skirt, between the layers, or as an extra ruffle at the bottom of the skirt...
Just an idea, but as I said, you did a wonderfull job! Have lots of fun with it!

I love your costume! How did you do the wrap over the skirt?

Beautiful! May I ask how you made the skirt?

Thanks! :D I feel so flattered!

Since taking the photo I added more to the skirt - thanks for the suggestion Amirah!

Tisha, I made the skirt by making a tube big enough for the widest part of my hips. I cut an asymmetrical hemline so that it was shorter in front than back, and then I rouched it in 4 places (two in front along center of each leg and two in back. I added trims along rouching, some laces along back and rouched and lace fabric along the bottom edge of the skirt --- and Voila! :)

Oh man, I couldn't begin to know how to do that! LOL I envy all of you who know how to sew so well. I do not. I can do a basic bra/belt covering, but that's about it! Is there a place where I could purchase a skirt or ensemble like this?

Well I'm very curious...please post a new pic when it's done!

Will do... though I've gotten distracted with other shinies lately! I have a tendancy to do that...

I adore this one!
The ruffled skirt with the other skirt over it is super!
