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

I made this little peasant top for LA today while she napped.  It is about 2 inches shorter than I would like Tongue Tied 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.
