Its beautiful. What a great idea making it into a shirt.

I think its gorgeous! The lightweight fabric really makes it very delicate--what a great fabric find! :) Bravo!!

Classy! I like what you did with the Melisa pattern and the fabric is beautiful.

It looks so beautiful! Great!

I didn't especially like the Malissa pattern as a dress, but love what you have done with it. All of your creations are wonderful!

Looks really comfy and great fit!

I love your version very much! It is beautiful and great on you.

I think it looks great. Really different.

I wasn't a huge fan of this dress but I love it as a top. The fabric is perfect for it and it really suits your figure. A how to would be great and please let us know what alterations you made to the original pattern. The collar looks like it might be slightly different?

I'll agree with all the statements of liking it much better as a shirt than as a dress. I also think it looks great with the more sheer fabric-- it's a good layering top.

it's not just ok, it's great! good idea and you fit that "idea" perfectly. it would be nice if you made a how-to :)

oh wow, thank you all for your nice comments :) ! I didn´t expected this!

The collar looks like it would be different, but it´s the same as the original. I think the fabric is the reason for this. (it was not fun to sew :/)

It was difficult for me, cause I never work with such a fabric before.

I will upload the how to in the next days!

(and a picture from the collar)

i don't like the malissa pattern, but i surely like your top! i like especially the waistband you added and it's placing, it really looks good as an empire-like top. i could think of your version for myself a bit longer. i also like the sheer fabric you used a lot.

i still prefer the dress but the top looks nice, too. great idea!
