PIP: Peasant top (updated with action shots) need your opinion

Justinlove

I made this little peasant top for LA today while she napped.  It is about 2 inches shorter than I would like so I am debating keeping it as is or fixing it since it is going to drive me crazy.  So ignore the terrible lighting/photos and the fact that red gingham should never be paired with blue/white seersucker--too short or ok?  I plan to pair it with O+S puppet show shorts in khaki.

Oh, so cute! Love the tiny, bigger, biggest gingham!

It doesn't look too short, but, I know looks can be deceiving on the hanger. You just need to find an even BIGGER gingham and do another ruffle. LOL!

What if you did another row of something different like eyelet or a complimentary gingham.

I love it just like it is! It doesn't look too short to me, but I like the idea of adding some eyelet to do another ruffle along the bottom. What pattern did you use for it? I'd love to make one for my DD.

I did consider eyelet...

I sortof used the peasant top pattern from Tie Dye Diva.  I say sortof because I used the pieces for the bodice/sleeves for sizing, but then made a ton of modifications.  If you can make a tiered skirt, the concept is the same.

I would add white yo yo flowers at the neckline and eyelet lace on the hem. I don't think it needs to be longer per say, but gingham screams for eyelet lace. Like fries for ketchup.

One more eyelet ruffle.  It is so cute as is though!

This.

I do think a little longer would be better (or maybe the third ruffle a bit longer...something seems a bit off on the proportions to me), but it is adorable as is.

I think it looks super cute just the way it is!  But if you think it's short, it's probably a good idea to add.  If I don't like something, all I do is zero in on the mistake or what doesn't seem right and I never can get past it.
