I do think pleats may be the way to go. <br />I need to be more open minded when trying the Burda's. There are so many cute ones and I really like how they look!<br />As far as how much sewing I get done, I don't sit still well...never have and so I spend an hour or two sewing one or two evenings a week.

I'm no help on the proportions, I stay away from peplums precisely because I don't get the "right" way to balance them. 110 Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740139592563988097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643856792310663826.post-92166790738249529962015-04-18T06:36:05.773-05:002015-04-18T06:36:05.773-05:00Sue,

I don't think its the right proportions on you...IMHO. Instead of raising the waist, I think it should be lowered to elongate the midrif - and it should be more curved to follow your body more. <br />Try basting some curves in the top and see if that might change the look. I think the pattern works in the dress because the longer skirt weights down the gathers/pleats. These models are very tall and veeerrrry thin - so everything works on them!!<br />As far as Burda patterns, they are some of my TNT patterns. Their pants have a perfect crotch curve for me, and the armscythe/ sleeve is so much better than most of the "Big 4". <br />I alwys love reading your reviews! My question is how do you get so much sewing done with a full time job???Mary Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00163517902582020187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643856792310663826.post-15211926273133859212015-04-18T02:21:32.374-05:002015-04-18T02:21:32.374-05:00Nice top and I love the fabric.

I think you might like the peplum longer - but do check. I also wonder about having the waistline higher. You could check that too.

If you look at the model her peplum has the appearance of being slightly bigger (or is it my imagination?). Why don't you try pinning it up so the peplum is higher or basting a strip of fabric to make it longer and see what looks best. I do love the top. Very feminine and fresh looking.BeaJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071033898844018967noreply@blogger.com
