DIY :: Matching Cropped Top and Skirt {with Joe Fresh}

written by Natalie Ho 2014.08.05

Hello! Another summer DIY tutorial today. Just about the same time last year, I attempted my first DIY Matching Cropped Top and Skirt project, the results were fabulous and I’ve always wanted to try the technique on another dress.

I found the perfect summer dress from Joe Fresh (on sale now!) however, it was a little too big for me, so I decided to slim it down a notch and also transformed it from a gorgeous one piece to a versatile and fun matching two piece cropped top and skirt number.

You will need a sewing machine for this project, but don’t worry, only a few stitches are required!

I love the way it turned out and now I can have two pieces for the price of one! Feel free to apply this same tutorial to any dress or jumpsuit!

Before:

What You Will Need:

A one piece dress (preferably with a built in waist line)
Scissors
Seam Cutter
Sewing Machine
Black wide elastic band (cut to your waist size with half an inch extra)
Pins

I hope you liked this cute two piece matching cropped top and skirt project. So easy to tackle on your own. I hope you’ll find time to be inspired and create something of your own!
