Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Very much so, with a couple of changes Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions were very good and easy to follow What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Trendy top is a like and all the fantastic reviews for this top make it a big like. No dislikes Fabric Used: dark navy ponte from Mood Fabrics Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I added 1" to the bodice, might add another 1/2" next time. The big change is an exposed zipper in the back. I really like how this turned out. zipper picture
I used this video to help with the "how to"
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I would sew it again. Check the bodice length before you sew it.
Conclusion: I have tried to buy a peplum top in RTW but they are all too short-waisted. Finally, I got around to making one and I am thrilled with the results. That is why I sew - to add something extra and to get the garments to fit me right. Plus, I just love it!
