Do you know what's a peplum?
The word “Peplum” comes from Greek and was a word for “tunic”. We summarized the history of the peplum in a recent Peplum Summer Top free pattern:
The peplum, originally worn around the hips, is a practice that goes back to the ancient Greeks, around 500 BC. Since then it has been known as a piece of extra fabric that is attached to the waistline of a top, skirt, or dress. The peplum flares out and down towards the hips and creates the silhouette of a cinched waist. It accentuates a woman’s curves to give the illusion of an hourglass figure.
The peplum resurfaced on the first collection of the great Christian Dior in 1947 used widely in films after the WW2. It was a key detail in the '80s and '90s and still favored most notably by the royalty.
