Drawstring Peplum Blouse

Introducing a stylish women's blouse pattern featuring a graceful scoop neckline with a V-slit, long sleeves, and a flattering drawstring waist that creates a soft peplum silhouette.

When To Wear

This versatile blouse is designed for comfortable elegance, making it an ideal choice for:

Casual Chic: Effortlessly stylish for everyday wear, from office to weekend outings.
Transitional Seasons: Long sleeves and a comfortable fit make it perfect for spring and autumn layering.
Relaxed Gatherings: a sophisticated yet comfortable option for social events and informal gatherings.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Relaxed fit through the bust, cinched at the natural waist by an adjustable drawstring, flaring into a soft peplum.

Neckline: a graceful round neckline finished with bias binding, accented with a center-front slit edged by narrow topstitched cut-on plackets.

Sleeves: Full-length, set-in sleeves providing elegant coverage.

Waist: A separate casing sewn inside the waist seam holds a decorative cord that exits through two buttonholes and ties at the front, allowing a customized fit and a gathered peplum effect.

Hem: Gently curved hem, offering a modern touch to the peplum's flair.

Length: Hip-length, making it suitable for pairing with trousers or skirts.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires skills in precise neckline finishing with bias tape, constructing and attaching a drawstring casing, and setting in sleeves.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose fabrics that offer a good drape while holding some structure:

Dense blouse fabrics made from natural or blended fibers

Additional Supplies

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance – 1.5 cm. Sleeve hem allowance – 5.0 cm. Other allowances – 1.0 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:
- Upper Back – 1 piece on fold
- Lower Back – 1 piece on fold
- Upper Front – 2 pieces
- Lower Front – 1 piece on fold
- Casing – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Place the Upper Front pieces right sides together and stitch the center front seam from the slit mark to the bottom. Fold the cut-on plackets apart, one to each side, and press. Fold under the placket allowances and topstitch from the right side.
Stitch the side and shoulder seams of the Upper Front and Upper Back. Overlock allowances and press towards the back.
Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the neckline length + 5cm. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Place the binding on the neckline on the right side, raw edges matching, and stitch. Clip allowances. Fold the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold to the main piece. Press the seam.
Stitch the side seams of the Lower Front and Lower Back. Overlock allowances and press towards the back. Work the buttonholes for the cord at the marks.
Stitch the Casing into a loop. Place it on the wrong side of the lower blouse and secure along the upper edge. Turn under the lower edge of the casing and topstitch it to the lower blouse. Join the upper and lower parts of the blouse. Overlock the seam. Press the fold on the upper part along the marked line and topstitch the upper part from the right side over the joining seam, securing the fold (this forms the casing channel).
Stitch the sleeve seam. Overlock allowance and press towards the back of the sleeve. Set in sleeves into armholes. Overlock allowances and press towards the sleeve.
Overlock the bottom edge of the garment, press to the wrong side and topstitch. Turn the sleeve hem allowance under by 1 cm and press, then by 4 cm and topstitch.
Thread the cord through the casing.
