First off let me just say this fabric is insanely pretty, don't you think?
I began with this thrifted dress which had quite an awkward waist line. But I loved this fitting of the top half of the dress and knew it would be perfect as a crop top.
So I cut it in half.
Then I decided to do a sort of fishtail effect by making the back a bit longer than the front.
I am incredibly pleased with the result but still am not sure what to do with the left over fabric, don't want to make it a skirt. Any ideas?

You are so creative! I often cut up skirts I thrift and have made some high-low hems that way haha.
I'll have to remember I can do the same with dresses! I adore this print and the fabric looks light and perfect for summer <3

Wow great DIY! It looks so much better as a top!
It does have an awkward waistline but looks SO good as a crop! I'm the same with thrifted clothes.. I always have to alter them in some way before I'll decide to wear them.

Ohh really nice post!!
What a cool top that is and what did you do with the rest of the fabric? Maybe a bag or a scarf or tie or flowers for the hair or a bandana?
