George + Ginger Jawbreaker Peplum & Dress

I have been so busy this month. Here it is almost over and I'm just now getting around to blogging about the Pattern of the Month at George + Ginger. The pattern this month is the Jawbreaker Dress - which happens to have a peplum length.

I have been eyeing the Jawbreaker ever since it released and purchased it during a sale. I finally made it about 2 weeks ago.

What I really love about the Jawbreaker is the boatneck with pleats. You can also make it without the pleats.

As much as I love the look of the pleats, I find that being made with a stretch cotton lycra means they don't exactly want to stay laying flat. I am tempted to make another and to sew my pleats down.

I made the peplum skirt which is a full circle skirt that also has mini and dress lengths. The pattern also include the option for a fitted skirt.

I used the 3/4 length sleeves. The pattern also includes sleeveless, short sleeves, and long sleeves.

For my 5' height, I removed 1.5' from the length of the bodice.

As I am gearing up to only wear bottoms I have made, I also made a new pair of Greenstyle Creations Chelsea Pants. It's hard to see in these photos, but my pants are a black ponte de roma with tiny silver polka dots.

These pants are so comfortable. I love the flared leg.

They even have pockets!

The Jawbreaker is on sale through the end of the month for $6.75. If you bought the Mix It Up Dress, you can use the skirts from that pattern with the Jawbreaker for even more options.
