For the strap, you can use a ribbon. I used the waistband recycled from the skirt. To create the strap, I borrowed from my other tutorial, that's why the fabric looks different:
Insert the strap through the front casing, and you get a cute little halter top.
However, I have stubborn little girls with "I can do it myself"-itis, so I decided to sew the straps onto the back piece:
Here's another one made, using the fabric and straps from one of my tops:
Lengthen the top, add some ruffles, and you have yourself a cute nightgown:

Love this. I might have to make my self some
Thanks for sharing! A cute top perfect for summer. Nice tutorial, well done.
What a great, simple tutorial. My daughter would love this shirt. Time to raid my stash! Thank you for taking the time to post this!
This is so cute! I love how you can apply the modifications to make something so versatile. Thanks so much for sharing, I'll be linking.
I finally made this today, and my only regret is that I waited until August 1st to begin :-). This top is perfect - easy to make, versatile, and adorable. I did sew the straps onto the back instead of using the tie around the neck, because my daughter likes to dress herself, too. I think I'll make one for myself, and I will definitely be making longer versions for nightgowns for my daughter. I posted my photos on flickr with the tags "vively online tutorial shirt." Thank you again!
