Question

How do I change a long dress to a two-piece outfit?

If you aren't an experienced sewer, I would ask a tailor shop for help. However, I am guessing that you would cut the skirt off, and put it aside, then hem the top. Depending on where the skirt started, it might be a crop top. Set it aside. Next, take the skirt, and turn it inside out. Cut down the middle until it would fit like high-waisted pants. Then, get elastic and add it to the top of the waist, folding it down so it becomes a low waist with elastic. Last, sew the partially finished pant legs together and turn the whole thing inside out. Again, this is just a suggestion, and I strongly urge you to take it to a tailor shop.
