The skirt in this photo shoot was made from a vintage dress worn in a previous shoot (entitled: “Rosesand “Roses (Part 2)“). I never sold the dress because it wasn’t holding up too good on top. I always intended to turn this dress into a skirt — it’s only took me nearly  TWO YEARS. Good intentions and all that, as they say… At least it’s done now! The pink floral print is one of my all time favorites, I’m glad I was able to salvage part of the original dress.

As I’m sure all of you are aware of — Crop Tops are big right now. Sometimes for plus size gals (or any size gals!) it is hard to find exactly what you want for yourself in retail stores. I came up with an EASY NO SEW DIY to make your very one, personalized CROP TOP! Simply follow the steps below.

 

Please note: All edges of crop top in this DIY will be unfinished and will have a “rolled” effect.
