I started with this dress I picked up at the goodwill a couple months ago.
Using my seam ripper I removed the top.
Then taking a pair of shorts I had laying around I cut out the shape I needed for the shorts part of my romper. I used the side seam for the side seam of my shorts and the hem for the hem of my shorts so I had less work to do.
Unfold your short pieces and place them right sides together. Sew the open sides together.
Flip your shorts around and sew the bottom of your shorts.
Next take the remainder of your shorts to make the top of your romper. I flipped mine around so what was the top became my waist and the bottom became my top.
Cut out the corners to make arm holes.
Hem your arm holes and along the top.
Turn your top inside out and match it along your shorts and sew.
Lastly I removed the straps from the original dress and added them to the top of my romper. And that's it~
