Plan for New Peplum Blouse with exact waist length

I have re-calculated the circumference of the front and back peplum. Will do another blouse with the correct measurement.

1. When calculating the circumference of the circle, should minus the dart’s measurement.

Circumference = Front Waist (1/4) – 3 cm (dart) x 4

2. The front and back circumference should not be the same as the waistlength is different.

Fabric:

Decided to change the fabrics to white satin, this can be mixed with either the apple yellow or the pink. Either that, or can use the satin bought from that auntie from people parks.

Bodice : apple yellow or pink (depends on the left over)

Peplum : white satin (plus chiffon)

Just realized I have made two mistakes about the peplum:

1. When calculating the circumference of the circle, I have forgotten to take out the dart’s measurement.

Circumference = Front Waist (1/4) – 3 cm (dart) x 4

2. The front circumference and back should not be the same as the waistlength is different.

Will have to remember this in future.

Have this thought of adding anonther layer of chiffon to peplum of this blouse.

Likely will use the fabric below:

New Project: Blue/White Low Peplum Blouses

Going to make another two variation of peplum blouses as it is the In trend currently.

Blue and White Peplum Blouse

This is the left over fabrics which I think quite suitable to match together. Sleeves and hem will be in white and the bodices in blue.

First Draft:

Zip will be at the side seam. Since the length of the side seam is 18″, will get a 15″ zipper.
