I have a 100% cotton skirt....?
Simplicity 7229

that I purchased, tore the tags off, threw them away...all before trying it on. I know..stupid!!
Anyways, its too big. How would I go about shrinking it down a size? Is it even possible?
Its very casual...has a drawstring waist
I am also worried about fading..its has a zip up hooded jacket that matches and it fits. I dont want that to shrink.
Its an A-line skirt...pulling it tight to fit with the drawstrings scrunches up the waist line and looks rediculous.


All I can suggest is washing it in hot water and then drying it at the hottest heat your dryer has.

If you have access to a sewing machine you could make it smaller by sewing one of the seams bigger.

It's bluey grey and white striped with a drawstring top. I bought it at Cotton On a few weeks ago but I'm not really sure how to wear it. haha yes I know, it's missing a button and it needs an iron!


A white tank top or white t shirt and sandals of some sort or sneakers.

How do I put a zipper in my skirt?
Simplicity 7229

I am looking to change this dress into a skirt, as I don't really like the top, I thought I would cut off the top part and make the bottom into a skirt. I can do a drawstring or elastic, but I really would love to put a zipper in the side or back, but I have no idea how. Any websites or other sources for tutorials would be appreciated, along with any hints/tips. Thanks!

ps. also the fabric is a regular cotton, no fancy fabrics. I don't know if that matters or not.
