UFO #2: Twirly skirt

This is a cute little skirt I made as part of a dress made with an Amy Butler pattern.  The top of the dress was shirred and my then 18 month old didn't like it.  So I pulled the skirt off, intending to attach it to a t-shirt to make it into a dress... and then I thought maybe I should just make it a skirt...
Except that the waistband wasn't quite wide enough to make a good casing for the elastic, so I sewed in a piece of ribbon to make the casing... but I never finished.
And actually, I finished the casing but haven't been successful in getting my daughter into the skirt to model it. But I bet it would be super cute and perfect for her Dancing with the Stars night with Daddy!
