Thanks for sharing your train of thought, how one change required other changes. Also, HAHA to the comment about not being as good at pulling dresses over your head as you were when you were a younger woman who didn't exercise!

I am so with you, and am making a top with the exact same issue. My husband had to help me get my first muslin off me. I kid you not. I do love the top on you. It is very flattering on you, and thanks so much for sharing how you added the peplum. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

It's not tight or close-fitting like the straight skirt on the dress is. It camouflages my abdomen which I'm always conscious of and it just works for me so I like it.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-23789327699958090952017-11-22T20:15:31.114-05:002017-11-22T20:15:31.114-05:00Great tutorial and I will always love peplums!

I have a question for you - you've mentioned several times that you don't like 'waists' on your dresses, but this seems the same to my eye. Both have been very flattering on you. If one just 'feels' wrong, I totally get it. I'm just curious because given how you feel about dresses with waists I was surprised that you loved this top. Maybe it is just one of those things. :) Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11563230869151812456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-88139885796492231572017-11-22T13:19:59.037-05:002017-11-22T13:19:59.037-05:00I agree with you and like it as a top more than as...I agree with you and like it as a top more than as a dress.
