Lilly and the Pink Dress

Hello Refashion Co-op. I found some wild Lilly Pulitzer pants at a clothes swap. I wanted to make a pink top to go with them.

I had this pink J.Crew dress to work with. Unfortunately the elastic was going brittle and it had a big ink spot on the front. The neck was really warped and I couldn't iron it out. I had to use the parts that were not damaged and I fought with it quite a bit.

 Wearing a plain white t-shirt started to sound like a good idea.

I used the skirt and the part of the top you see outlined in gray.

 I ended up with an off-the-shoulder top and a lot of scrap pieces from trying different ideas and having them not work at all.

 The pants were easy to resize after the battle with the dress and the length was right already.
