I was riffling through Topshop sale two years ago and i found a ankle length, high neck maroon dress and bought it for 7 euro! Needless to say I was very pleased with myself on my bargain hunting. However, with indecisions on how to wear it I had eventually cut it into a dress above my knees and was disappointed with the result. So what could i do? I could only make it shorter! So i cut it into a crop top, and if you are bad at hemming  simple and very effective trick is to add lace to the ends to hide its flaws and to add more texture and cuteness to the piece!
