Transformation Challenge

I made this top recently by re-using material from a dress which never fit me quite right. I was reluctant to sacrifice the pretty dress but since I no longer enjoyed wearing it I figured there wasn't much to lose.  Fortunately I was able to reuse most of the material including the stretchy empire waist. All was not lost. Actually, I thought it was a pretty neat challenge to transform the dress into a new top and I felt a real sense of accomplishment after it was completed.
