Continue the skirt with a Stockinet Stitch to your desired length.  (Fewer rows for a short skirted dress, more rows for a longer skirted dress)

 Hem:

Row 1: Stop when you are ready to do your last P row, and instead of Purling across, Knit across

 Row 2: K across

 BO in Knit

 

Sew up back seam, add a button at the neck, and weave in (with a darning needle) a bright silk ribbon around at the waist.   This will close the dress at the waist, and provide a darling accent.
