Whip up a funky hi-lo top from that frumpy frock in your stash:
Here’s the snappy step-by-step:
Snag that wonderfully patterned but just plain ugh dress
mark where you’d like the length of the front to be
fold evenly in half sideways & chop down to the back at an angle from your mark
round off the back edge
chop the sleeves if desired
take in the sides if necessary
hem up all of the raw edges
head out in your easy breezy new top!

I really love this colourful and elegant combination!
Vielen Lieben Dank! 😉
LOVE IT! This is the perfect refashion for that dress – it was a great print but it definitely needed some serious updating! Love the new top, so glad I could inspire you!! 😀
Yep, that dress was absolutely the perfect victim for an Aligator Toe inspired refashion 😉 *& I made something rather awesome from the leftovers too!
I love it! Yyou did such an amazing job. The top (now) looks great. I’m loving the print.

Cheers Lesli…the print is fabulous! Paisley all the way baby!
Looks great with those awesome yellow jeans 🙂
Yep…they were made for each other! 😉
Oooh that looks fab! Definite improvement on that humongous dress!
Thanks very much…it’s always amazing how a few simple snips & stitches can completely transform a garment 😀
