As to wear ability—let me say that I will wear this again but there are a few things that I will adjust when making the next peplum top.
First, I will shortened the width of the shoulders. It felt large.
Second, I will lengthen the bodice by an inch to 1 1/2 inches. It feels short-waisted but that appears to be how it looks on the pattern envelope. I felt myself pulling the top down after I had sat in my office chair for awhile.
Third, I had folded out about a 1/2 inch in the upper chest and upper back to bring the underarm seam up for a petite. I still felt the underarms were low.
Other than that, I did like the top and skirt together. The skirt felt a little loose in the waist but not too much, actually it proved to be more comfortable as they day went on.
Here are the photos I took before leaving to go to work:
I love this outfit, reminds me of a Vogue suit I made years ago...hmmmm winder what happened to that tangerine suit, probably outgrew and gave to goodwill.
