Last spring I did two things; Ordered a subscription to Ottobre and had my serger tuned up. This is the very first thing that came off the serger.
I really liked it. Until I tried it on. Too small.
The next try was in turquoise. Bigger seam allowances made for a much better fit. I went on to hem it all. The hemming did not go well. I stuck both shirts in a stack and ignored them for a while.
Then I decided I really wanted to wear the turquoise one. I sewed some lace along the bottom hem. Even worse (no pictures). So I cut off the neck and bottom hems and decided to go with the 'unfinished' look.
Fast forward a couple of moths (and a few less pounds) and what do you know? This one fits, now. I haven't bothered to finish the hems.
Interestingly enough, I made a skirt out of the same fabric about a year ago (pre-blog)
Seems like a bit much worn together. What do you think?

I like it! It looks like a dress and what a great way to salvage what you started. I hate when I take the time to make something and it doesn't work out like I imagined it. But I think you have a great save.
Needs a great belt, wide I think. in a completely different color like say ... red? Of course I can't see the colors clearly here, but ??? might be worth a shot.
