Wrap Peplum Blouse

When To Wear

In spring and summer with trousers, jeans or a pencil skirt.
At the office or for dinner, under a cardigan or jacket.

Key Design Features

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

Length: The peplum ends at the hip.

Neckline: Crossover V-neck. The upper right front laps over the upper left front and is topstitched along the binding seam.

Sleeves: Short flutter sleeves, set into the armholes; the lower edge is serged, turned and topstitched.

Front: Upper left and upper right fronts over a one-piece lower front; waist darts pressed toward the centre, bust darts pressed upwards.

Back: Upper back with waist darts, joined at the waist to a flared lower back.

Finishing: Back and front necklines and the centre edge of the upper right front are bound with a 4 cm bias strip folded to a narrow binding. Hem turned and topstitched with a twin needle.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Sewing knit fabric with stretch stitches, binding a long bias edge without stretching it, joining the wrap fronts and a peplum at the waist seam.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with low to medium stretch, in natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Twin needle for the hems

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. Hem allowance – 1.5 cm. Back neckline and upper left front neckline allowance – 0 cm. Front neckline and center edge of the upper right front allowance – 0 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches – they must match!

From main fabric:
- Upper Back – 1 piece
- Lower Back – 1 piece
- Upper Left Front – 1 piece
- Upper Right Front – 1 piece
- Lower Front – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.6–0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.
