Refashion: Two-into-One

I've joined Refashion Co-op, which is a site I've been following for some time.  I'm very interested in what other people are able to make and alter from op-shop (thrifted) finds.  The dress challenge interested me alot especially as I have very few dresses, but alot of skirts and tops, majority of which are op-shop finds.  I have a lot of black skirts, in all lengths and styles, so I decided to do a bit of combining. 
 

 

I liked the detailing on this top



 I ran a gather stitch around the bottom edge of the top.  Then I matched the side seams, front and back of the top and skirt.  Because I'm quite short I didn't have to adjust any lengths; the top was the right length as it was and the skirt had nice overlay details.

I sure I'll be able to wear this dress far more than before as two separates.  It makes more sense to me, than to have it sitting in my wardrobe.
