"This easy knit dress and/or top is sure to be a favorite in your closet. This style requires minimal time to sew up. The waistline is just high enough, yet the skirt and peplum are long enough to elongate the torso of a petite figure. The skirt is designed to end just at the knee and the full skirt hides any imperfections. The peplum option adds feminine flair and covers the tummy. Designed for knit fabrics."
