Re-fashioning or should that be recycling?

A much needed clean out of my wardrobe recently came up with 4 dresses that I used to wear when I was fatter. I was about to put them in the donation bag when I realised I could re-fashion the skirt sections into sleeveless tops for wearing around the house this summer. The fabrics are mostly cotton, one is a rayon I think and still in good condition considering their age. So I whacked them in the washing machine, cut the skirts off and ironed them.

This is my first attempt and was going to be a toile but it's turned out quite well. I didn't make facings for the armholes or neckline but used bias that I made out of the same fabric (good old Clover bias maker - I love you!) so it seems that I have stretched the neckline a little bit while applying. I've also discovered that my right shoulder is a tad lower than my left and the top falls off that side a little bit. Not sure how I could fix that. Maybe a bigger shoulder seam on that side? Anyway, here's the result.
