I really wish I had taken a before picture of these pieces, but I didn't. This was a REALLY long skirt on Mother, but she was in the wheelchair by the time she wore this, so the length didn't really matter. The sweater was also very LONG and loose. It had very long sleeves, too. 
I cut the sweater up the front, cut it off below the bust line, then crossed the right side over the left. The bow was already on here. I left it alone. This dress comes to my ankles. I left the hem line of the skirt as it was.
