Maxi Makeover w/ a DIY Scarf

Inspired by Blake Lively's Gucci dress, I wanted to try a simple overlay effect.  For this, I chose a print to contrast with my solid maxi dress:

Difficulty: Easy

Time: ~20 minutes

Materials:

• 3/4 yard of 52-60" width chiffon fabric

Pattern:

• Scarf tutorial here, but modify the measurements as follows: 
• Narrow the width - I used 10" by measuring at the base of my neck from one shoulder to the other 
• Mirror the length of your maxi * 2 for the length (mine was 104" so I connected 2 rectangles of 10 x 52.5")

Once the scarf is finished, simply cut a hole in the middle for your head and finish the edges with a rolled hem.  I used an existing slip-over type top to get the proper size.

That's it!
