About this design
The Japoma set pairs a fitted peplum jacket with a short straight skirt. The sleeves flare towards the wrist, the keyhole neckline adds a discreet feminine touch, and the peplum defines the waist before opening over the hips. In red star wax or turquoise wax it is full of energy; in purple adire it takes on a more sophisticated air.
A peplum jacket only works when the waist seam sits exactly at your waist: a few centimetres off and the silhouette looks heavier. The short straight skirt must also hug the hips without riding up. With made to measure, these details are set from your measurements. Your Douala tailor sews the set, and KOUTIVA checks the finish before delivery.
Styling tips
- Use the same wax for peplum and skirt for a head-to-toe look, or a contrasting peplum to highlight the waist.
- Pumps or heeled sandals balance the short skirt.
- Keep the keyhole neckline clear: a fine necklace is enough.
- For the office, wear the jacket alone over plain trousers.
Choosing your fabric
Red star wax and orange floral wax are made for parties and birthdays; turquoise wax feels fresh by day, and purple adire brings a quieter elegance to evening events.

Frequently asked questions
Can the peplum be in another fabric?
Yes: the peplum is a separate part, as are the body, sleeves and skirt. You could, for example, pair a turquoise wax body with a red star wax peplum.
I don't know how to measure myself. What should I do?
The illustrated guide shows where to place the tape for each measurement. In Douala, you can also ask a KOUTIVA agent to take them.
What does the price cover?
The price shown covers made-to-measure tailoring and the fabric you selected. Our team then calls you to confirm the order, as online payment isn't available yet.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the design and the workshop's schedule. Our team confirms the timing when they call you to confirm your order.
