Now I didn't like the way the attached skirt came straight down, so I had to figure out how to make it more flowly. I took part of it off (I wanted to keep the ruffles), and add a more flowly part to the outfit.
Here is what I came up with. Moved some things up, added a ruffle on the bottom with a flared insert piece and attached it to the original bottom ruffle. This worked out pretty well.
