Refashion: Hoochie Dress to Not-so Hoochie Top

So I bought this dress a while ago. And never wore it. You can see why: it's hoochie! And it's got way too much going on at once: shirring, bows and ruffles.

 Bum ruffles are terrible! And the back bow fell off, right after I put the dress on! Less work for me.

So I decided to make a cut! And removed the bows! Here's all the pieces:

Snip snip snip

Snipped and hemmed it a bit longer than hip level. When I wore my new top I played around with wearing it with a high waisted skirt or hip level skirt. 

Liking my new top!

Now I just gotta figure out what to do with the bottom and the oversized bows.
