Gathered Waist Skirt DIY – Great for Round Bodies

About two years ago I lost a bunch of weight and then I stopped doing everything I was doing and put most of it right on back. Nevermind all that though, while I’m here, I’m finding ways to compliment the body I have cause ain’t nobody got time to look frumpy no matter your size. Sometimes, when you find a silhouette that works for you, it’s a great idea to work with it and wear it in a bunch of different ways that are still basically all the same. For plus size women who manage to have a waistline defined somewhere there, crop tops with full skirts work great! Well, I’ve parleyed that look into everyday styles that I can wear casually and professionally. I’ve also decided that I would make a few of them since a gathered skirt is really so simple to make. I mean, I can make them in a couple hours.
