Peplum top with a bustier empire cut

Hello everyone. This introduction to this blog is going to reveal the steps i took to make each outfit.
 For this first post, I made this peplum top for a customer. It had a bustier in the upper half cut (empire)

 It's a pity I didn't snap the step before I cut the bustier to get this. But this is the result. The wine red part is the lining . it shows how I folded to get the second fabric in the pic.
I measured the bust apart (nipple to nipple)and used it to get the horizontal line.

 To get the length of the bustier I took the underbust length and subtracted 7 inches from the top.
 Then used the bust point measurement to get a line  which is not visible in this pic.
Those gaps at the top and bottom of the lining are 2 " for up and 2" for below.

 This is the back
Both lining and fabric.

 This is the peplum. It's a 2 step peplum so I cut one 10 inches and the second 8 inches. The important thing to note is the peplum wehn added to the upper part of the blouse gives the desired blouse length.

 There 2 pieces of cloths in this picture. The fist is what i inspected into the bustier to get the full front and the second is the band from under the bust to which the peplum will be attached

This is the final result. One happy looking customer.
