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!

That looks so, so lovely!! What a great idea to change one of my old dresses and make it look much more special.

This is gorgeous! Did you leave the end of the zipper (on the top) exposed? Or did you snip it off / pin it under?
