Light Blue Denim Peplum Top with Lace Up Front and Ruffled Sleeves | Medium / S 100100586325984

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Stand relaxed, breathe normally and wear a thin layer (or your usual undergarments). For most accurate results, measure in front of a mirror or ask a friend to help.

Measure your body (to choose the right size)

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back and under your arms.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (natural waist), where your body bends side to side.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips / seat, about 18–22 cm (7–9 in) below the waist depending on body shape.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other (shoulder seam to shoulder seam).
• Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam (or shoulder tip) down the outside of the arm to the wrist bone with the arm slightly bent.
• Center back length: From the base of the neck (C7 vertebra) straight down to where you want the hem to sit.

Measure the garment (flat) — how we usually report product measurements

Lay the top flat on a smooth surface, smoothing out wrinkles but not stretching the fabric. Measure straight across and double where instructed to get full circumference.

Quick conversions: 1 in = 2.54 cm. To convert: cm = in × 2.54; in = cm ÷ 2.54.

Fit tip: If you’re between sizes and prefer comfort under the arms and across the bust, choose the larger size. If you prefer a more fitted look at the waist, choose your usual size.

Materials

Typical materials and trims for this style (check the product label for the exact composition):

• Main fabric: Lightweight denim / chambray — commonly 100% cotton or a cotton-elastane blend (for example, 98% cotton / 2% elastane) for a slight give. This gives a soft, breathable hand with a structured drape ideal for peplum shaping.
• Trim & details: Lace-up cord is often cotton or polyester; eyelets/grommets are usually metal (nickel- or brass-plated) or reinforced stitching; ruffled sleeves are cut from the same main fabric or a matching lightweight trim.
• Lace/embellishments: If there is decorative lace trim, it is commonly polyester or a polyester-cotton blend—delicate and requires gentle care.
• Construction: Typical stitching uses polyester/cotton thread; seams may be topstitched for durability and style.

Note: Light-dyed denim can transfer color on first washes. If exact fiber content is required for allergies or professional laundering, refer to the garment’s care label or product specification on the product page.

Model information

Photographed fit reference (example):

• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S)
• Fit note: The top provides a shaped waist with a peplum flare at the hem. If you carry most of your measurement in the bust, consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit across the chest.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Before first wash: Turn the top inside out and wash separately or with like colors to prevent dye transfer.
• Machine wash: Cold water, gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and strong stain removers that can fade light denim.
• Delicates: Fasten the lace-up ties and place the top in a mesh laundry bag if washing with other items to protect the eyelets and ruffles.
• Hand wash option: For extra care (especially with lace trim), hand wash gently in cool water and rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Reshape gently and hang to dry in shade. If using a dryer, tumble on low for a short time and remove while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles—high heat can shrink and damage trims.
• Ironing/steaming: Iron inside out on low to medium heat. Use a pressing cloth over delicate trims. Steaming is preferred for ruffles and lace to avoid flattening texture.
• Spot cleaning: Treat stains promptly with a mild soap or stain remover suitable for cotton blends; test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped hanger to keep shoulder lines intact, or fold gently to avoid heavy creases on the peplum. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
• Hardware care: Dry metal eyelets thoroughly after washing to prevent corrosion. If trimming frays appear at seams, secure with a small stitch to prevent further unraveling.
• General tip: Wash less often—air out between wears and spot clean when possible to preserve color and shape.

Style Tips

Design features—peplum waist, lace-up front and ruffled sleeves—create a feminine silhouette that works well with many looks:

• Casual daytime: Pair with white or light-wash skinny jeans or denim shorts and sneakers or espadrilles for an easy, coordinated denim-on-denim or soft-contrast outfit.
• Smart casual: Tuck slightly into high-waisted tailored trousers or wear over a midi pencil skirt. Add block heels or loafers and minimal jewelry to balance the ruffles.
• Dress it up: Swap to a sleek leather or pleather skirt and strappy heels. Add statement earrings and a clutch for evening wear.
• Layering: For cooler days, wear a fitted blazer or cropped jacket over the top—keep the jacket structured to contrast the peplum's flare. In summer, wear alone with lightweight linen bottoms.
• Proportion tips: Because the peplum adds volume at the hip, balance the silhouette with slimmer bottoms (skinny jeans, cigarette pants, pencil skirts) or high-waisted wide-leg trousers to elongate the leg line.
• Accessories: A slim belt over the waist seam can accentuate your waist even more. Choose delicate necklaces or chokers to keep attention on the lace-up detail without competing with it.
• Color pairing: Light blue denim pairs beautifully with neutrals (white, beige, camel), pastels (blush, mint), or warm tones (rust, terracotta) for contrast.
• Footwear: Wedge sandals, block heels or clean white trainers all complement this top depending on the occasion.
