I made a long vintage gown that Mattias gave me in to a short coctail dress with a detatchable over skirt that you can wear separately. I took the bust decoration away and used it for the wide waist of the over skirt, cut the gown in half and used the bottom part for the over skirt, then I just hemmed the remaining dress part. It's really easy to do. (I know the hem needs to be ironed but I can't do that today so I just took a picture anyway)
