Ta-dah!
There's still some finishing touches to add but I love the twilly, I just need to work out how to style it past using it as a cumberbund (which I love). I need to take the skirt in at the waist, but love the potential. I bought the dress secondhand about a year ago, I adored the print but the dress turned up with a weird unexpected ballon shape, the neck and arms were too tight, and not the length I'd thought it was. A twilly seems like a small project but the idea of the twilly means you have to think about the bigger project which is brilliant.

Oh my gosh, I love the transformation! Wicked, cool as a skirt & twilly as a belt ties it together perfectly! Well done & thanks for sharing.

Sorry I missed it as well. I thought it was US EST which would be now🙁
Fast paced twilly
My emails seemed to disappear into the ether, but I'm here now. I find the colours in this dress a little too strong for me, so i found a favourite fabric in my stash & made a quick twilly to soften the overall look. Going forward i might steal some fabric from the dress's neck facing to do another twilly. This one's not quite finished yet, but here it is.

Great job, I really like the print on your Reilly!!
I got side tracked
I’ve had this skirt for years, while I love frills the shape was wrong on me, so after watching the workshop I had to rummage through several boxes of clothes & came across this & I thought I’ll make it in to a top & voila here it is…twilly is yet to come

I couldn’t agree more, SO much better as a top & flattering to your face.
Hi, I'm Debla...
I'm from Miami, FL. -- just catching up and yet still behind on the twilly thing. I've been following Kate/CC for years on IG and am very happy and excited to be participating in this group. A marketing professional turned stay-at-home mom 25 years ago, I've sewn and tinkered on lots of things over the years... from costumes to many small sewing repairs. My daughters keeps me on my toes with projects that range from sizing down evening/prom gowns (she's an xxs) to creating a castanet case with left-over upholstery fabric (spanish dance lessons) and more recently a conversion that was challenging (for me) and actually turned out well (ie: she wears it out, LOL) -- converted a boys RL dress shirt into a strapless, fold-over, buttoned-up-back top. I'm not even sure how we did that... but we did. I've always embraced a reduce/reuse/repurpose mindset and I'm excited at this opportunity. Thank you Kate and CC team. :) PS: Twilly attempt & results to be posted soon...
