Is it possible to take a velvet skirt and turn it into an over skirt ?simply?

I don't see why not assuming that it has a firm waistband rather than elastic. Simply cut it up the front and hem the cut edges. Close it at the waist with a hook and bar if the waistband overlaps or add eyelets or grommets and tie it closed.
