Watermelon Tank to Toddler Dress

I used to love this watermelon shirt from Urban Outfitters when I was a teenager. 
I've kept it in my closet, and never could part with it in hopes of looking "cool" wearing it again one summer.

Well, I've recently [as in this morning] decided that it would look much cuter on Adeline.
and duh, it's a bit too big. So this morning's project was to take an adult sizeL tank top to a 18month dress. 
Yayy, I did it! I just took it in [alot] and repositioned the shoulder straps. 
There's elastic on the back, so I think she'll even be able to wear it next year maybe with a pair of shorts or some added ruffles on the bottom or something.

I'm really proud of myself because I'm an awful seamstress and this is my first repurposing project. 
Score!
She looks much cuter in my shirt than I ever did!
