I can see what you saw in that silly bubble top: possibilities! I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with how expensive it looks--not like a craft project. The lime blouse with it is brilliant and unexpected. The blazer, pumps and bag ground all of the bright trends and give it *banker clout* for work. Good to see snake-y again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631773 Tue, 29 May 2012 19:25:22 +0000 Anonymous 631773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt, what a great transformation.<br /> .... and you are wearing pumps...squee... I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631759 Tue, 29 May 2012 19:07:24 +0000 Mo 631759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice save! I've done this as well and was pretty happy with how it came out and how easy it was (not much of a seamstress to say the least).<br /> I'm also liking the pumps with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631724 Tue, 29 May 2012 18:33:21 +0000 nicoleb 631724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome job Rae! I'll admit when i was first reading your description i must of missed the part where you said you were taking the ruffle bottom off so when i looked the first picture i was like "ehh....." but ah! Picture #2 looks fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631722 Tue, 29 May 2012 18:32:28 +0000 Sylvie 631722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impressive transformation. I need to keep an open mind with clothing and potential alterations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631719 Tue, 29 May 2012 18:29:35 +0000 Jonesy 631719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun, creative, and fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631716 Tue, 29 May 2012 18:26:45 +0000 teeandcee 631716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you took that from a 2 to a 10! I love-love-love the splotchy pattern and it looks so much better as a skirt without the ruffle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631669 Tue, 29 May 2012 17:49:54 +0000 catgirl 631669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ADORE. You look *ahem* stellar in that outfit! </p> <p>I often see tube tops mistakenly placed in the skirt section at thrift stores. Must keep this DIY in mind... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631633 Tue, 29 May 2012 17:17:36 +0000 fern 631633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous fabric - what a great transformation.

Great outfit Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631622 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:48:38 +0000 Beth Ann 631622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is office appropriate (an amazing transformation), but totally "you." Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631614 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:40:42 +0000 cciele 631614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome transformation! It looks so much better as a skirt (and I am amazed at how long the tube was) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631612 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:36:35 +0000 Suz 631612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fabulous! Gorgeous colours and such a fun, mixable skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631607 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:22:45 +0000 Julie 631607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As you are a baseball fan, I'll put it this way. You've knocked this one out of the park!! And, you're right, that is very pretty material. Like Angie, I was surprised by the pumps, but I can see this skirt with either your Timberlands or Frye Julias.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631601 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:17:58 +0000 goldenpig 631601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I would so wear that outfit! You are so amazingly talented and creative! Now that's how a banker should dress--citron blouse and tube pencil skirt! Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631598 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:14:24 +0000 rae 631598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm happy to report the skirt is also pretty comfy with no ride-up... I may be home free. :)</p> <p>Diana, I know what you mean about most tube tops - I have definitely ended up with those tiny "skirts" before. </p> <p>Angie, you noticed the pumps! I thought I needed some serious shoes to balance the crazy colored top and skirt. Black patent leather is so oh so somber and serious to me these days, heh heh... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631576 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:44:55 +0000 Ana 631576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That is awesome, Rae! I love your creativity and ability to a potentially fabulous piece in something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631569 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:33:02 +0000 jayne 631569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is UwP perfection now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631539 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:02:09 +0000 Angie 631539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! You clever gal. Don't you ever let your clothes boss you around. </p> <p>And pumps for a change </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631535 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:00:35 +0000 nancylee 631535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I am so impressed. LOVE this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631531 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:58:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 631531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How clever! You and Claire are just rockin' the DIY projects lately! And I love this paired with your citron blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631529 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:55:49 +0000 Diana 631529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the finished product! I have tried this in the past but ended up with a skirt that was too short for leaving the house in! I haven't seen too many boob tube tops that are long enough to make a decent skirt, so this was a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631528 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:55:35 +0000 Kirti 631528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! You are so talented </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631526 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:54:39 +0000 Amy 631526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a transformation! Looks great, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631524 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:54:09 +0000 MsMary 631524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! I am squealing with joy!! SO FAB!!!!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dollar-diy-buh-bye-boob-tube-hello-galaxy-skirt#post-631521 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:53:05 +0000 rae 631521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the pattern on this tube top, but I have never *ever* worn tube tops. They just feel like wardrobe malfunctions waiting to happen. For a buck, I thought I'd try to save the pretty fabric. </p> <p>Off came the ruffle and bandeau bra portion, and I was left with an elastic waist tube of material that just fit over my hips and behind. I'll take it! </p> <p>Tube top/skirt - swap meet<br /> Lime shirt - swap meet<br /> Ben Sherman blazer - Ebay<br /> Patent Pumps - Ross<br /> Snake bag - Ebay </p>
