as first thing look at the photo I put upper , you can see there
which parts of the shirt you'll be able to use to sew top, straps and
skirt
Here are 2 links to my previous tutorials about making pattern and sewing bustier or simple top
when the top is ready we cut the down part of the skirt and pin it to the bustier
sew them together
pin the straps and underlining next sew it
it's shown very easy in this tutorial
Ready dress on me !
I found this lovely but much too long and too big silk skirt in sh near me.
I had few ideas how to refashion and renew it even before I bought it but finally I decided that dress 👗 will be perfect as I love silk dresses not only in summer.
