When To Wear

To the office over a pencil skirt or slim trousers.
In summer on its own, or in spring over a fine long-sleeved top.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted bodice, narrow waist inset and a peplum flaring over the hips.

Length: Hip length.

Neckline: Deep crossover V-neck formed by the wrapped fronts; front edges and neckline faced with the lining.

Sleeves: Sleeveless, with the shoulder line extended over the top of the arm; armholes faced with the lining in two stages.

Front: The upper fronts have darts pressed towards the side seam and stitched only up to a crosswise mark, so the fullness is released above the bust. The front insets are interfaced.

Closure: Buttonholes on both fronts: the right front fastens with a decorative button outside and an inner button on the wrong side; a second decorative button on the left front. Buttons 2 cm in diameter.

Back: Upper back with a centre back seam and darts; the back inset and the back peplum are each cut in one piece.

Waist: Narrow inset seamed between the bodice and the peplum, front and back, with the seams pressed onto the inset and stitched through all layers.

Lining: Full lining cut from the main pattern pieces; the main fabric is recommended as lining. Turned through an opening in the left side seam.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Released darts, a wrapped front with an inner button, a waist inset and a lining stitched to the neckline, front edges, hem and armholes and turned through the side seam.

Fabric Recommendations

Fine suiting fabrics with elastane, from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Lining (main fabric recommended)
Fusible interfacing (front insets)
2 decorative buttons, 2 cm in diameter

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

- Upper Back – 2 pieces
- Lower Back – 1 piece
