Anyone loves the peplum top here? I bet there are! Because who would not love the design that can miraculously flatter your body shape and cover up your flaws in waist and hips? I also have a peplum top in my closet to mix with jeans or treggings when I want to be comfortable without being frumpy. You know I am short and curvy, and anything relating to layering will make me a rag doll at once, except for the peplum top.
If you are worried that peplum tops are out of date, don’t worry. After a few years lending the stage to bell sleeves and other statement making trends, the top that flares in the waist is back! On the runway, of course. You can see peplum tops in the collections of Balenciaga, Rosie Assoulin, Monique Lhuillier, Marchesa, Zuhair Murad, etc. And when these trend setters say peplum is back, it’s back! Why not make yourself this flattering baby to catch up with the trends?

Of course I am sharing a design that is more applicable than those on the runway – after all, we cannot always bring the runway fashion as-is to our daily life (However, if I have a piece of Oscar de la Renta or Zuhair Murad like above, I am more than happy to wear them – it’s impossible because of budget problem, haha). So, the peplum top I will make for myself will be a simpler design – with boat neckline, half sleeve and full circle peplum. The peplum is long enough to cover your hips, and you can adjust its length to make one most suitable with your taste.
The pattern is created in pdf format using A4 paper. I can also create the pattern in other paper sizes (A0 to A4, Letter, Tabloid), so please inform me if you need them.
Print the patterns on A4 paper at actual size/no scaling/100%. Not sure how to print and cut the patterns? Check the guide here.
Do you want to add side seam pockets to the pattern for additional convenience? Just go ahead because it is too easy, just follow the quick instruction here.
Again, happy sewing! I look forward to seeing your masterpiece!

Cutting instruction:
After taping down all the pages following the instruction, the overall layout of the pattern pieces is much like this (the arrangement of pattern pieces will vary a bit with sizes because I want to utilize all space to result in least pages):
The cutting instruction is for the garment with facings. If you choose to sew the garment with bias binding, skip the front facing and back facing pieces. If you choose to sew the garment with bodice lining, skip the facing pieces and cut a set of front and back pieces in lining fabric.
