VIDEO REVIEW


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.

Very cute, disappointing about the sleeves though, I hear you, who would think they would run that low on ease in a sleeve! 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.

Beautiful top! Thanks for the warning about the sleeves--like you, it's an alteration I rarely have to make. Love it with the skirt!
