DIY project - Turn an old dress into a cute Cropped Top

My mom is very displeased when she has to get rid of stuff. Since purging is not her strong suit,  I've been able to find some real gems in her closet from the 80s and the 90s.

Here is a dress that I've never seen her wear and I know for sure she won't wear in the near future. Her only hope is that one of her daughter develops an 80s fetish and starts wearing it. Well, Mom your wish is coming true.....kind of.

I looked at this dress and realized I liked the top, but not the bottom. It was an easy fix; I cut the skirt off and used the hemmed bottom to create a short trim for the top.

If your mom is like mine, you can find your own gems in her closet. If not, just head to a local thrift store. You can make your own cute summer top in no time.

Have fun!!

Step 1 - Find an old dress

Step 2 - Cut it into 3 pieces

Step 3 - Discard the middle piece

Step 4 - Gather and attach the trim.

Step 5 - Enjoy!

3 Tips for the Edgy Summer Bride

3 Tips for the Edgy Summer Bride

1. Creative wedding photography has become one of the main focuses of this special day,  especially for the less cookie cutter bride,  but it can be more time consuming than most couples plan for. A lot of brides forget to block out enough time with a wedding photographer to achieve that creative image. Photographs help memories last a life time!

2. Summer weddings are beautiful,  but as the days of summer go by the numbers of pesky mosquito's rises. This is something brides do not usually consider! Homemade recipes for nicely scented mosquito repellent are the perfect part favor for less than desirable outside intruders!

3. Whether you are a bride on a budget,  or a creative couple looking for a unique way to represent your love,  this monogram idea is sure to touch the hearts of your guests. A heart shape can easily be formed by taking the thumb print of both the husband and the wife. Adding text to the bottom,  like the couples initials,  completes this fun-loving logo. Photographed to the right is Evil Kitty's own heart monogram!
