I spotted this dress at the thrift shop. The first thing I noticed was the pattern in the fabric, I fondled the silky soft material and then after a quick sigh for it being far too small for me, I knew it had to come home with me for a refashion adventure.
I toyed with the idea of turning it into a shorter version of the same dress. By removing the top tier it would fit. Since it is winter in Australia I decided against a summer dream and made it into this top. The satin fabric for the body of the shirt was given to me a while ago from a friend (left over from one of her projects, I made one thing from it and still had this piece left) so it is an all round winner.
I used the Vogue pattern 8581 for the top and it was all sewn up within an hour!

Very clever idea-- I always think my wardrobe needs more color and liveliness come winter, and so this looks like a perfect cooler-weather top!
i love the flower :)
