Visiting us today from our Advisors Circle<\/a> is Lori<\/a> who has stopped by with her Maritime tops<\/a>, Weekend Getaway Blouse with pleats tutorial<\/a> and Terrace Dress with shirt tail hem<\/a>. Now she\u2019s with us today to give us the scoop on her Gelato Blouse that she sewed for herself.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

Peplum style tops are still going strong, and Liesl + Co. has a great couple of patterns for a peplum top. One of these is the Gelato Blouse + Dress<\/a>. I used it for my peplum look, and it has such great details. The details of this blouse from the Liesl + Co. site: \u201cRelaxed pull-on peplum blouse and A-line dress feature a scooped neck and bust darts. The blouse, View A, includes ruffled peplum and sleeve as well as a button-placket back detail.”<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

I used some beautiful embroidered fabric from Style Maker Fabrics for this blouse with a bit of chambray for the button detail.<\/p>\n

One thing I love about this top, well, I love many things but the bust darts really help with the fullness. Another fun part of the top is the button back, which I changed just a bit. I measured the allowance for the button band and did some changing, adding a contrast fabric for the button band. Before adding the peplum, the buttonholes were stitched and buttons added.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I was using the contrast, I didn\u2019t want the contrast on the peplum. I did play a bit with the length of the top, adding a couple of inches to the bottom. I had this idea in my head for a longer shirt but the idea didn\u2019t really work out. Liesl has the perfect length already drafted. The construction was straight forward and easy to follow instructions. As always, I stitched the seams with my machine and then serged the raw edges. I decided not to add the sleeve ruffle. For me a peplum ruffle is the perfect amount. I might play with the length of the sleeves a bit more, any suggestions about the perfect length?<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

This top took a couple of nights to construct and a good final press. I always love having a new top to wear and this one is such a good top. The dress is cute option, too, and it has pockets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
