Peplum top sewing pattern: 3 outfits you’ll wear on repeat

3 ways to wear the Haadia Top

(and why it’s the peplum top sewing pattern you’ll keep reaching for)

Some tops are cute… until you try to actually live in them.

They ride up. They cling in weird places. The neckline does that thing where it feels fine for 10 minutes and then suddenly you can’t breathe. And the sleeves? Don’t get me started.

Haadia is the opposite.

It’s the cozy, pulled-together top you throw on when you want comfort and shape—without doing the most. The subtle peplum silhouette gives you definition at the waist, while the relaxed sleeve keeps it easy. And that funnel neck? Instant polish.

Below are three outfit formulas using the Haadia Top peplum top sewing pattern—each one with a different vibe, so you can make it once and wear it a hundred ways.

Look 1: The monochrome set (aka “I look expensive and I’m not mad about it”)

This is the easiest way to look like you planned your outfit days ago.

A head-to-toe tonal look makes Haadia feel modern and elevated—especially when you keep the silhouette clean: defined waist, relaxed volume, long lines through the leg. Pair this top with the Inaya Pant (shown in image)

Style it like this:

• Keep it tonal (sage, olive, charcoal, navy—any of your “good neutrals” work)
• Pointed-toe heels or sleek sneakers depending on your day
• Minimal jewelry (let the shape do the talking)
• Optional layer: a long coat for that “I’m running the meeting” energy

Fabric note: If you want the set to feel really luxe, choose a stable knit with body—ponte, scuba, or sweatshirt fleece with good recovery.

Look 2: Casual denim (for days you want cute but not fussy)

This is the outfit for errands, school pickup, weekend brunch, and “I’m not changing again today.”

Haadia’s waist detail is the magic here. You still get shape, even with relaxed denim. And the funnel neck keeps it from feeling like “just another sweatshirt.”

Style it like this:

• Straight-leg or wide-leg jeans for balance
• A boot or heel if you want to elongate the leg
• Add a crossbody bag and you’re out the door
• Optional layer: a trench or denim jacket

Quick fit tip: If you’re between sizes, pick the size that fits your shoulders and bust best. The belt gives you the waist. Let it do its job.

Look 3: Work polished (without the stiff “work clothes” feeling)

This one is for the days you want to look sharp—without sacrificing comfort.

Haadia paired with tailored slacks is a clean, confident silhouette. The peplum shape adds interest so you don’t need a blazer to feel finished (though you absolutely can add one).

Style it like this:

• Wide-leg or drapey trousers in black, espresso, or charcoal
• Structured handbag (it instantly upgrades the outfit)
• Sleek flats, heels, or ankle boots
• Optional layer: a long cardigan or blazer for extra coverage and warmth

The fabric moment (and why this look is extra special):
The Haadia Top in this look is made with a fabric print I designed—and yes, it’s available for you to order on Spoonflower. If you love wearing something that feels uniquely you (and you can’t find it in stores), this is the fun part: you can sew Haadia in a print that’s exclusive, artistic, and made to stand out while still feeling wearable.

(Tip: choose a stable knit or midweight fabric with body so the funnel neck and peplum keep their shape.)

Why Haadia works as a “repeat” peplum top sewing pattern

Because it solves a real problem.

You want warmth. You want ease. You want to feel cute. You want a waist. You want to sit down and eat lunch without adjusting your shirt every two seconds.

Haadia gives you all of that.

Make one in a solid neutral. Then make another in a print. Then one more in a “this is my signature color now” shade. That’s usually how it goes.
