Marfy 1659 TOP

I like this better!

It needs to be shortened and I am going to try it with a shirt tail hem.

I am also thinking about lining the peplum.

A belt would help too.

I like the texture, and the pintucks!

This will be a very nice blouse.

Happy Independence Day!

I rounded out the Holiday by sipping a gin (Beefeater) martini while watching Inspector Lewis and ordering from Liberty of London!

Have you seen their new fall fabrics?!

This is not you grandma's Liberty of London!

I am actually thinking of making one of those bubble skirts out of this and wearing it with a cute little heather blue sweater.

I also got some sewing done.

Remember that white and gold dress that I wasn't thrilled with? Well, it will make a really cute white top. I will post new pictures later. I made the waist band narrower by 3/8", and cut the peplum 8" long.

This added more shape, and the curved shirt tail hem is much more slimming!

Or, maybe that was the gin... who knows!
