I wanted to make an exact knockoff this time, but I used fabric from my stash and didn't have enough yardage. I ended up making the top with a standard gathered peplum. I used the gathered peplum piece from OOP McCalls 5278.
Because I didn't have much yardage to work with, the plaid isn't perfectly matched. But the mismatching doesn't really bother me and I am happy as pie with this top! The peplum is rather plain compared to the original, but it works for me. I really like this top. Here it is, first on me:
Then flat:
This is a style that goes with everything--jeans, shorts, dress pants, skirts! Here it is with a skirt that I made earlier--the color of the top in this pic looks like the color IRL:
If you're interested in making this top for yourself, check back tomorrow. I'm going to repost the instructions then.
Ty--Thanks for the compliment and for your support! I let that garbage affect me for too long. No more.
Well, that's it for today!
Make this day a good one!
Em
