Lace Dress to Top

 Hello Readers. I loved this lace dress. It was so fun but the shape just did not work for me. I decided to make something I would wear more often. A new top. 

 Before and after. 

This dress was great. I just didn't love it on me. The dropped waist made me feel thick in the middle. I have 3 kids, I might be thick a little thick in the middle, I don't need a dress to remind me.  

I used a shirt i liked as a guide for the length. I cut my dress a bit longer so I would have fabric to fold under and stitch down.  

 

I turned the edge under and stitched it down to make a nice neat hem. I wasn't sure how the holes of the lace would sew together, but it was fine. 

 

My new shirt was a nice layer for warm days. It gave more coverage but no extra heat. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
