Pattern Description:
Misses peplum tops and slim pants
Pattern Sizing:
I made a 12, I wear a 6 rtw
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yep
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, easy as ever
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really like this pattern! I think the peplum is nicely shaped. I had tried a different peplum pattern that had pleats on the peplum and it just stuck out too much. This one looks great and it's a good length.
Fabric Used:
A lightweight cotton.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn't change a thing. It really fits great right out of the envelope.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I think I will make it again! I was unsure at first, but once I got used to the shape, I really like it and have worn it several times already. Maybe I'll make a sleeveless version, but after that, how many peplums does one really need? ;) I think it would be cute with a gathered skirt too though, so I might try that!
Conclusion:
Great pattern and beginner friendly!
