Pattern Description:
Pattern is described as Very Easy. Misses' fitted top, raised waist and hemline variations, back zipper for View A & B, View C is a pullover.

Pattern Sizing:
Size 8-16.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
This is the third top I've made from this pattern. I would say yes pretty
much

Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions are very straight-forward and the top goes together very well.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love this pattern nothing to dislike.

Fabric Used:
Ponte Knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made a slight alteration at the upper chest area, lengthened the waistline 1". Wanting to add volume to the peplum, I did add three 2" wedges to each peplum piece (front and back). This added 12" to the total peplum. I love the volume.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Oh, definitely.

Conclusion:
This is such a lovely pattern and much can be done with the peplum. I highly recommend this pattern.

So stylish and looks absolutely fantastic on you. I LOVE what you did to the peplum! That's one of those things that makes me say, "Now why didn't I think of doing that?" Thanks for the inspiration!
