When did the peplum became trendy again? two or three years ago? Late as usual here I go and make me one. But when I tried it on I got a bit disappointed, and it got worse when I combined it with something other than the pencil skirt. I ended up looking like a colorblind Santa.

English version (pattern review copy)
Pattenrn Description: (From Burda site)
Simply enchanting, this top with peplum gives a romantic feeling. Lovely contrasts are created with the addition of the lace collar which really makes this top a statement piece.
Pattern Sizing: 34-42
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? The girl in the photo looks quite elegant, I look...weird
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked the peplum part, the one I really wanted to try, I also like the vertical darts. They kind of enhance the chest area, which is nice for a change
I dislike that the line when the top meets the peplum is very high on the front and very low in the back, so from the side it looks, shall I say this again...weird
Fabric Used: Ponte knit
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None besides leaving out the zipper, but I should have try to alter the pattern so the peplum started at the exact waist, front and back
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
No and yes, if you like this kind of look
Conclusion:
I was looking for an easy, good looking proyect after the coat I reciently made. I know I will wear this, but I just thought it was going to look better on me. Also this made me rediscover the wide belts!
Version española
Descripción del patrón: segun Burdastyle.com-simplemente encantador, este top con peplum da un aire romántico. Se consigue un contraste adorable con la adición del un cuello de encaje lo que hace de este top una pieza representativa.
Tallas: 34-42
¿Se parecía a la foto de la revista cuando terminaste de coserlo? La chica de la revista está elegante, yo estoy...rara.
¿Fueron las instrucciones fáciles? Muy fáciles
¿Que es lo que te gustó/disgustó del patrón? Me gustó el peplum, que es lo que me atrajo desde el principio y también las pinzas verticales que parece que "sacan pecho" a mi me vale, igual a otra persona no. No me gustó que la linea de union del top con el peplum sea tan alta en el frente y tan baja en la espalda. De lado da una sensación,¿ puedo decirlo otra vez?...rara.
Tela usada: punto jersey doble o ponte
Cambios o alteraciones hechas al patrón: Excepto pasar de cremallera, ninguna. Aunque deberia haber hecho algo con esa linea de union de la que hablaba antes para ponerla a la misma altura.
¿Lo coserías otra vez?¿Lo recomiendas? No lo cosería, no es mi estilo, aunque si te gusta, adelante!
Conclusión: Buscaba un proyecto facilito y molón después del abrigo; No me veo con ello, pero me lo pongo fijo. Además he descubierto que tengo un montón de cinturones anchos.
