Technically more “fashion hack” than “upcycled”, this bright and cheerful top is the perfect partner for Barbie pink sateen Bermudas.
What I did:
- Bought a sleeveless silk dress for $1 because the fabric is fun.
- Decided multicolored, multi-sized polka dots was too busy for a whole dress
- Put dress in bin for months on end, all the while thinking, “that dress would make such a cute peplum top with those pink Bermuda shorts that are just too much with almost anything else.”
- Cut out part of the lining and used it for something else
- Thought about how cute a headscarf out of this print would be
- Finally pulled the dress out, hacked off the bottom, gave it a rolled hem, and discovered that the fabric has almost-imperceptible holes in it, so it is definitely going to be a short-lived, just-for-fun piece
- Didn’t like the lines of the leftover lining, so I cut it out and put on a tank top.
Then I wore it! 🙂
