Notes Fabric is a crinkly cotton/poly blend. I recommend light to medium fabrics, that will not stretch much on the bias.

No changes made to the pattern, but used a side snap closure instead of zip. Also with a back neck vent and button.

I wasn't sure how the pleats should be made, but folding up the paper pattern helped to figure it out. I sewed each pleat about 3 inches from the end.

It hangs a little off, but I think it's due to distortion of the fabric when I was cutting. Somewhat difficult to iron because of all the pleats, but worth the work. It looks and feels great when on the body. Very flattering!

    Your top looks great. I was on the fence about this top but then I saw your pictures and I am sold. I am tempted to try this in a lightweight knit but I will start in woven.

    This is a nice peplum blouse, which will be easy to pair with a pair of trousers or a skirt.These pleats add a touch of originality.
