Catching up with my triangle dress

It's been ages since I posted here last. I've been neglecting my own blog, too. I've had a busy month with my my Etsy shop, but other than that, I can't figure out where my time is going.
When it comes to my refashions, it's like, "if it's not a dress, what do I want with it?" Going along on that theme; my triangle dress:

There's not much to like here, with the extra room, length, and too long sleeves.

That print tho

I adore fun prints, and there was something I loved about those little triangles. I just wanted to make this smaller, and with elbow length, cuffed sleeves. Of course, after all the necessary alterations, something was still not right. If I didn't want it to balloon out like that, I would have to make the bodice shorter and that sounded way hard. Unless...

I put the "shirt" into the "skirt" so the right sides were together before making any cuts! It worked pretty well, but either way; I've got belts.

Not sure why you'd need more info, but if you do, here's the full post! Craft, Thrift, or Die 

Also, I just started my long vacation, so you bet I'll do some sewing. Maybe you'll hear from me soon!
