Musical Mayhem Skirt

I hope you can see details of the material. It's piano sheet music! I wish I knew what song they printed on there, or if it's just random. It's a simple rectangle skirt. I bought the black ribbon, but the black lace was scrap. The little black bow ties, hopefully you can see them, were purchased as is because I can't tie a bow to save my life. The skirt is worn with a red petticoat in the pic.
