Tweed Peplum Top

As a supplement to this week's Refashion Runway Peplum challenge (have you voted yet?), I present to you this perfectly-presentable-yet-blah-and-boring tweed pencil skirt.

I decided to turn this ho-hum skirt into a cute top. So I dis-assembled it almost entirely and rebuilt it practically from scratch. The original waistband was reused as the new waistband, and the original zipper got moved to the side of my new top. I even used the original lining to line my new top.

And I added a wee little button to the slit where the zipper used to be.
