Or you could trim the embroidery background up to the embroidery and then stitch directly to the top at the current length.<br /><br />You may find that releasing a bit more of the shirring at the sides will mean that the fabric is not pulled so taut in the area under the bust/over the tum. you will still have the defined bust, but not the defined tum.<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568954677244979878.post-47703766692574371062015-05-13T04:37:15.462+01:002015-05-13T04:37:15.462+01:00To make your top less empirey-maternity looking, a...To make your top less empirey-maternity looking, add a few rows of shirring with elastic thread to create a stretchy waistband. The lower portion of the shirt will look like a peplum, great for hiding tummy flaws.<br />I would get some wonder web and make appliqués out of the embroidered border and sew them back onto the blouse or use them for another refashion or sewing project<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433402096552609809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568954677244979878.post-54192958468464728262015-05-13T03:15:46.839+01:002015-05-13T03:15:46.839+01:00It may look more to your taste with a slimmer skir...It may look more to your taste with a slimmer skirt or pants, do you think? I like it and it fits you well now; good adjustments. I rarely think of making a dress into a top but I need to do this more often.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568954677244979878.post-60579346822409559012015-05-13T01:08:04.847+01:002015-05-13T01:08:04.847+01:00Love the quick and easy refashion the embroidery i...Love the quick and easy refashion the embroidery is very pretty.

An alternative would have been to shorten the blouse at the waist instead of cutting off the bottom in order to save the embroidery. You did a great job on the blouse and it looks very nice on you :)Queen Of Rodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408666619675564418noreply@blogger.com
