I love this! I totally agree…not enough garments in the world with peplum. I own 3 blouses and 2 jaunty little jackets with peplum, and of course they are among my faves.
Great job! Any chance of instructions and a pattern?
=)

I like the design, but your chioce of striped fabric really makes it pop. I think the sleeve caps are so cute. Great job!

this is stunning did you design this too? you should put the pattern up on here if you did

really beautifull how you manipulated the darts position to create this effect with the darts. The peplum adds even more beauty to this piece! Great job!

Excellent balance of the stripes, especially around the dart areas. Cordially, Nehmah

I did. I draped it first using muslin, and then created the pattern. I have made it twice now, once in the blue and white and once in the red and white!

Cute! It reminds me of exercise in a pattern drafting textbook I have. It looks great and I love the peplum.

Wonderful work, I think the change of direction on the darts really adds something!
