  Step 1

  Take the fabric you'll use for the top and fold it in four.
  Now take a dress that fits you perfect (It shouldn't be flexible). Now draw along the arms and body according to your dress. The dress shouldn't be folded right side out. If you're doing with the right side out keep at least 1.5-2 inches extras for sewing.
  Cut out the pieces according to the drawing.

  Step 2

  Now take only the front part. If you want the front neck to be larger than the back then cut it to make it larger.
  Prepare your neck. Learn how to prepare the neck from the link below. http://grainlinestudio.com/2012/02/15/sewing-tutorial-getting-flat-bias-necklines/
