Refashion: Plunge neckline to Peplum

I finished this project for a while now but I didn't quite get to sit down and share it here. I bought the top at a flea market and liked the print right away. At first I thought that I could wear it without changing its look, then I found out later that the neckline was too low. I couldn't wear it like that, it's just not my style. After carefully checking how much fabric I could take to change its look, I finally decided to make it a peplum top.

I was a little hesitant to sew it into a peplum because I tried wearing one before and it wasn't flattering on my body. I have never worn that top which I only borrowed from my mom. But then, after seeing style inspirations and different cuts of women tops, I chose to take the risk and learned to gather fabric for the first time. It was fun making it and I'm proud to wear it. In fact, I have worn it in Dubai during our short holiday, as pictured below.

This top is comfortable to wear!

I'm quite enjoying refashioning old clothes and getting to wear them the way I like. Here's to more sewing projects and keeping creative juices flowing!☺
