Peplum Top

 Simplicity 1699 includes the peplum top, dress, jacket and pants and I'm making each piece in this black scuba fabric from Fabric Mart.
 An invisible zipper with a hook and eye adorns the back of this top.
 Adjustment of one inch was made at the waistline which looks fine in the back but not the front so I'll not do the adjustment the next time I cut this pattern. I really like each item that's included with this pattern.
While on vacation I went into a store that had this top in the same fabric in blue, green and black. Guess what? I was able to get this same fabric from the same company on sale in purple. I ordered 6 yards.
In between my challenge sewing I'll post the other coordinates from this pattern.

    Very cute top! I really want to revisit the jacket from this pattern. I liked it a lot...just not in the fabric I chose :)

      Thanks! I removed some of the sleeve cap from the jacket to remove the gathers.

      Thanks BeaJay! My mother always made princess style dresses for me when I was in my teens. Now I know why.

      Terry, I borrowed one of my hubby's hats! Yes, it's a little different than the church girl.

    Judy, I forgot to bring the cute cut of the sleeve. I think it is cute and different from the plan straight cut.
