Check this out! :)
I ended up chopping this dress into two parts.
I’m going to forget about the top part for now, and work with that stripey skirt. I decided to turn the bottom of the skirt into the top of a new dress! :)
It didn’t quite fit me, so I added elastic, using the existing hem as a casing. Then, I hemmed the new bottom edge.
I think I’ve removed the Yikes Factor, don’t you? :)
You can see more of this refashion at ReFashionista.net, where I'm remaking something new every day for 1 year! :)

Now that first pic makes me think of Dr. Seuss, not sure why!!
Love how it turned out, much more flattering!
This is really cute! Looove stripes! I would totally make an oversized tee from the top part. If you fancy posting the fabric to the UK, let me know!
