And then you can choose the most convenient pattern method, for example:
- Fold the fabric four times, place a center point in the upper left corner and draw a line for the bottom cut; then draw a line for the top cut equal to the volume of the product.
- A more complex option: having set the length, separate the lower parts along the waistline, closing the dart on the peplum. Then make flounces on the peplum, turning it to the sides of the side seam. Afterwards, construct raised seams in order to hide the darts and then construct a collar and adjust the sleeve.

What is Basque
One of the finishing options for the product is basque. It is usually used to trim a skirt, dress, jacket and blouse. It needs to be sewn along the waistline in the form of a flounce or frill. Basques are distinguished by shape and size. It can be long or short, one-piece or cut out as a separate piece. It can also have different edges. Asymmetric and smooth edges are distinguished. If you show your imagination, you can give any product an amazing look using a peplum. If a jacket is chosen correctly for the skirt, the outfit will be elegant and fashionable.

Making a dress with a peplum at the bottom: pattern of a romantic model
An ultra-fashionable, feminine dress with a peplum will emphasize any type of figure (except for a “pear” figure, since such a dress will make the bottom heavier) and is suitable for any height. A peplum is a wide strip of fabric sewn to the waist, sides, chest, shoulders and bottom. The peplum at the waist slims the silhouette and emphasizes the hips. If you want to add sexuality, then you should place it on the shoulders. A peplum located on the chest increases the volume of the chest. A beautiful model with a peplum at the bottom creates a romantic and playful image. It will also help to create a unique feminine peplum bow on the sides. It can be of different lengths, shapes, with folds, double, incomplete, asymmetrical and can hold shape, but this requires thick fabric or two-layer material. We suggest creating a romantic image.
From the very beginning, you need to create a drawing of the pattern for the base of the dress; to do this, take measurements. Measure:
- dress length;
- back length to waist;
- front length to waist;
- shoulder length;
- floor circumference of the neck, chest, waist, hips and above the chest;
- hip height;
- the distance between the high points of the chest.
Once you've created the base dress pattern, create a dress pattern with a peplum bottom and place it on the wrong side of the fabric and pin it together. Then add seam allowances, draw cut lines with chalk, and cut the pieces. Now sequentially grind and iron the grooves on the shelf. Carefully pin and baste the center back and side pieces. Next, pin the center back seam at the bottom. Pin the shoulder and side seams and baste. Be sure to overlock all seams and iron the shoulder and side seams, ironing the side seams in different directions. Finish the neckline and armhole. The dress with a peplum at the bottom is ready.
For petite and little girls, a dress with a peplum on the shoulders is suitable, emphasizing the breasts and making them seductive. Different types of models can reduce or enlarge large breasts, depending on the location of the peplum. For example: completely open shoulders make a woman's silhouette sexier, but reduce the size of her breasts.
In the summer, you should take a closer look at closed shoulders or with straps.
An interesting version of a dress with a peplum on one shoulder, it creates an unforgettable image. A double peplum looks impressive, especially for evening events. If you often change dresses and attend different events, a removable one is suitable for you; it can be easily fastened with buttons or hooks and thereby change the look. When choosing a dress, choose the color carefully. Black color looks seductive, emphasizing a slender silhouette and is an excellent option for any celebration if you choose the right accessory and shoes. A summer dress looks bright in green shades, as it is considered the color of harmony and joy. For young people, blue and red colors will look good; they also add volume. Don’t forget about accessories, shoes, hairstyle, makeup, manicure; if you choose everything correctly, you will create your own unique image. For overweight women, an unusual style.
A correctly selected dress with a peplum for obese women will correct your figure. The style of the dress itself, as well as wide peplums with folds and, of course, sleeves, will hide your fullness. To avoid your belly being visible, you need a dress with a peplum from the chest to the hips. If you want to hide your hips, then a dress with a peplum from the waistline and below is perfect. Dresses should only be with a wide peplum, otherwise the volume will only be emphasized. Place the peplum below or above the problem area. For a business woman, a light jacket and pumps will perfectly complement her look. For an evening look, it will be enough to wear bright jewelry and high-heeled shoes with the dress, but also do not forget about makeup and hairstyle.
