Pattern Description:
Costume jacket with peplum
Pattern Sizing:
6
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
My daughter liked the style with the corset front and peplum skirt for her pirate jacket
Fabric Used:
I used a faux tooled leather with a satin lining
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None-I think it fits pretty ture to size...I would make sure that the waist come as close or as far as you would like it to be before cutting...it is forgiving in the sense that it laces in the front but my daughter wanted hers to come closer together than the pattern design so I went back and let out the darts in the back and at the side seems...it was plenty for her, but after letting the darts out it was not as nicely fitted in the back as I would of liked but she was happy with it.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes-I think with the fabric choice it would be a great look with a pair of leggings and boots with a brown satin ribbon. I used LARGE grommets that were a bit difficult to get through the layers of fabric but it just took some patients and a big hammer!
