Pattern Description: Misses' peplum top with neckline and sleeve variations
Pattern Sizing: 8-18. I made size 14
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?
I liked that the pattern had different neckline and peplum variation.
I disliked the amount of ease in the sleeves
Fabric Used: 1005 Silk from Metro Textiles NYC
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make any design changes but as I said above, these sleeves are very close. If I knew how tight they would be I would be I would have omitted the 1 inch pleat that is part of the sleeve, that would have given me the ease I wanted.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would like the make the sleeveless version because the body of the top fit well so I'm willing to give it another try.
Conclusion: Cute top, but check your measurements.

Thanks for your review as I will also have to watch for that because I have gotten bad about not checking the sleeves beforehand either but who would think. 3/3/13 9:56 AM
