Spotted Brown and White Flannel Skirt

I recently handmade, literally with tiny little hand stitches, this brown and white spotted flannel skirt, along with a matching muffler scarf...
Brown leather linked silver hearts trachten belt 
Brown vest and white edelweiss bag 
Brown and turquoise buckle concha belt
the ensemble will be perfect with a brown sleeveless knit top...
and of course with a brown sweatshirt...
this millefiore flower top...
with a brown medalion print top...
                                with a Tibetan style striped jumper / sweater knitted earlier...

I recently saw a charming brown and white polka dot dress with pintucking at the bodice at a thrift store which I could've bought for $5 but got talked out of it with a harsh statement from a family member: "yuck, put that back! Looks like something the dog threw up!"

Long story short, I didn't get it. Being shamed into putting the brown and white spotted dress back, which in hindsight, would've made a GREAT flared skirt with an elasticized waist. All I had to do was remove the zipper, cut the dress at the waist and create a waistband with hand stitching - no sewing machine needed at all - and stick in a length of elastic!

Three weeks later I go back to that thriftstore and I find the brown polka dot dress shoved, out of place, among the racks! Here it is...
