Being that this is a bustier style top, I knew from sight I would need to make a FBA. I've only sewn a 2-piece bra style bodice once before. So I had to remember how to make the adjustment.

I started with a size 14.

This is what my FBA on my bra pieces looks like.

This alteration made sure I wouldn't have that "smushed boob" look.

For the midriff, I lengthened the front by an inch. For the back midriff piece, I normally need around a half an inch swayback adjustment. So I lengthened the back midriff piece one inch from the side seam, grading to half an inch to the center back.

For the back peplum piece, I made a one inch full butt adjustment. 

Being that a peplum is basically a round skirt, I needed to prevent it from hiking up in the back.

There is boning at the side seams for support. 

Using cotton twill tape, I created hanger loops.

I don't remember if the instructions suggested, but I added an hook and eye.

For the sleeves, I modified them so that they would look more like my inspiration top.

I created the look by shirring instead of inserting elastic.

The shirring provides good stretch!
