Sleeveless Lace Yoke Peplum Blouse

A women's sleeveless fitted blouse with lace yokes over the shoulders cut along a raglan line, a waist seam with a flared peplum below, and an invisible zipper in the left side seam.

When To Wear

With a pencil skirt or slim trousers for the office or a dinner out.
In summer and warm evenings, when lace over the shoulders is enough cover.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted bodice shaped with waist darts at the front and back and bust darts at the front, flaring into a peplum below the waist seam.

Neckline: Round neckline bound with a folded bias strip, topstitched along the fold.

Sleeves: No separate sleeves. Two front lace yokes and one back lace yoke join at the shoulders and extend slightly over the shoulder, forming the raglan-shaped lace parts.

Back: Upper back in two pieces with a centre back seam and a lace yoke across the full width; lower back (peplum) in one piece.

Waist: Horizontal seam joining the bodice to the peplum, pressed upwards.

Closure: Invisible zipper in the left side seam, set between two marks.

Finishing: Armholes bound with folded bias strips; hem overlocked, turned up 1.5 cm and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Darts, joining lace to a woven body, bias-bound neckline and armholes, and an invisible zipper in the side seam.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics from natural or blended fibres for the body, and lace fabric for the yokes.

Additional Supplies

Invisible zipper
Bias binding, ready-made or cut 4 cm wide (neckline and armholes)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all allowances – 1 cm. Hem allowance – 1.5 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). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:

Back - 2 pieces
Lower back - 1 piece
Front - 1 piece
Lower front - 1 piece

From lace fabric:

Back yoke - 1 piece
Front yoke - 2 pieces
