Women's Ladies Peplum Hem Faux Leather Jacket
The Women's Ladies Peplum Hem Faux Leather Jacket uses a peplum, which is a flared panel below the waist seam. It is the one detail that changes a jacket's proportions more than any other: the waist is pulled in tight and the hem flares out, which emphasises the waist rather than running straight past it the way a bomber or biker jacket does.
Material: Faux leather (not genuine hide)
Fit: Fitted through the waist with a flared peplum hem
Closure: Front zip
Color: Black
Care: Wipe with a damp cloth, air dry, do not machine wash or tumble dry
What a Peplum Does
A peplum is a separate flared panel joined at a waist seam. Because the seam sits at the narrowest part of the body and the panel below it flares, the contrast makes the waist look smaller. It is a tailoring device rather than a decorative one, and it is why peplum jackets suit a wider range of shapes than straight-cut jackets do.
Faux Leather Holds the Flare
Being clear: this is faux leather, not hide. For a peplum that is actually an advantage, because faux leather is uniform in weight so the flare falls evenly all the way round. Real hide varies slightly across a panel, which can make a flared hem hang unevenly.
Fit and Styling
Fitted through the bust and waist. Order your usual size, since the shape depends on the waist sitting close. It works best with slim or straight trousers and skirts, where the flared hem has room to sit, rather than with wide-leg trousers which fight the silhouette.
Made to Order, XS to 5XL
All standard sizes plus free Custom sizing. Send bust, waist, hip, sleeve length and height. Waist measurement is critical on a peplum, since the seam has to land at your natural waist for the shape to work.

Why does the waist measurement matter so much?
The peplum seam has to land at your natural waist. If it sits too high or low the shape does not work, so use free Custom sizing.
