Here is the link to the outfit. It has a dress and a skirt. I only want to use the skirt though.

I'm now wondering that since the ruffles seem to be floating, if the dress could have the top removed somehow and the ruffles attached to the dress underneath?  Again, I'm willing to try doing the work, I just need some serious direction on how to go about doing this.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
