Wrap Around Revamp

turning a little worn wrap-a-round into a fab new dress!

I loved the print on my wrap-around dress, but hated that I had to wear a vest top underneath so as to not reveal a little too much cleavage - a curse of the larger lady. I saw a dress similar to this so decided to revamp my wrap-around and claim back my modesty. I cut it across the seam dividing the skirt from the top, then used the fabric from the upper half to fashion a new top and straps. I'm a novice when it comes to dress making and the sewing machine, so could probably done a bit quicker.
