DIY: Fishtail Skirt!

Today's How-To: Fishtail Skirt

Why pay $10 extra for less fabric and more trend? Do it yourself! It's super easy:

-First, go shopping! Almost every thrift store I've ever been to has had long grandma skirts for cheaper than a cup of coffee. Pick out one that has a lot of movement and body. Then try on the skirt.

Next, figure out how short you want the front to be. Be sure to keep in mind about 1inch worth will be taken up when hemming.

Then, take off the skirt and fold the it back to front (as displayed) so that the front middle of your skirt is one point, and the back where the tag is, is the other point. 

Lay down the skirt so that the bottom is spread out.

Now cut a straight line about 13-15 inches in from the front point of your skirt.

Once you've cut your straight line, start to move your cut down the skirt in a diagonal line.

Now try your skirt back on to make sure your cut is straight in the front and tapers down how you want it to. You may find you need to round off the bottom a little or trim a piece here and there.

Once you've made your final cuts, simply hem the bottom so it doesn't fray and you're done!
