Lilly Top PDF Sewing Pattern - V-Neck Peplum Top

Sew a Statement Piece That's Completely Your Own

Meet the Lilly Top PDF Sewing Pattern by Sew Sophisticated Patterns — a fitted women's peplum top designed to combine timeless elegance with modern structure.

Featuring a flattering V-neckline, shaped princess-seam bodice, defined waist, and dramatic peplum, the Lilly Top creates a polished silhouette that can be styled for everyday wear, work, dinner, or special occasions.

Change the fabric and change the entire look. Create it in brocade for a statement piece, cotton poplin for something more casual, or satin and taffeta for a dressier finish.
