Easy Summer Dress

I made one of these last year, from the “per inch” stash of shirred fabric from Jo-Ann.  The fabrics are so cute, they are hard to pass up.

I have to fix a tie that’s a little off, but other than that, it’s an OK dress. 

The fabrics are so cute, but really, when you stitch them up, there’s just not a lot of shape to the dresses.  I am wondering, if I cut off the part below the shirring, hem it, then add some elastic to the bottom to make it more of a skirt, will it look cuter as a shirt/skirt combo? 

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please comment.  I’d love to hear about your experience with these fabrics.
