Coming next : a Mexican-inspired refashion

I had this dress, which I had bought from Promod something like 3 years ago, when they had a 1950s-inspired summer collection. I liked it and wore it quite a lot, but it didn't fit very well (the side zipper was cutting into my armpit.)
As I still wanted to find a way of wearing it, I separated the skirt from the bodice. 

I will add a waistband (based on Colette Patterns' Ginger skirt waistband), which I'd like to embroider in a Mexican style (see Pinterest board below).
