I loved the pretty edging on it but I did not like it as a top at all.
So this is what I did with it:
I cut off the bottom part of the top
Then I snipped of the strap,
Gave it a quick press
So I could turn it into a bow
Then I pinned and stitched the fabric on the bottom of a new vest top I picked up for a few quid
I stitched the bow on and this is the finished dress:
I think it looks quite smashing on Esmeralda, don't you agree?
She is even wearing a matching necklace. You can find this one and others like it here
A little closer up to have a peek at the bow.
Well I hope you agree with me that it is an improvement and that it has given this rather pretty fabric a new lease of life. Let me know what you think.

I love skirts, and this is a adorable. :)
This really is lovely, Hannelore - and you make the whole process of making it look so easy, too :)
I love it and I love your blog.
I'll be back to check it out in more detail.
That's definitely an upcycle!
Thanks for all your comments
I agree. It is much prettier as a skirt.
You have a lot of skills.
