Has anyone converted a 2-piece lycra costume into a bra & belt set?

I have a pretty lycra costume -- love the bra, but want to convert the lycra skirt into a more belt-ish piece; something I can wear w/ a chiffon skirt. Or maybe just cut off the bottom part of the skirt and wear the top part over a different skirt.

I'm not an expert seamstress. And I hesitate to take the scissors to a lovely costume, but still. . . Thoughts? Warnings? Is this just foolishness?
