I added darts to the back of the skirt, used the black waistband from the dress as the facing for the skirt and that was it.
My skirt in a dressy outfit:

Red knit tunic - more casual, you don't see the welts here:

Very casual and summery.

The welts do hang better on my body, they are hitting at the end of the dressform and it is making them look a bit funny.
I am off to sew a bit, working on a blouse for the blouse contest on the Creative Machine email list on Yahoo. I cut it out last night and the deadline is May 12th.
The skirt looks great! I really like it with the red top.
