Peplum
pep·lum /ˈpepləm/
Noun
- A short flared, gathered, or pleated strip of fabric attached at the waist of a woman's jacket, dress, or blouse.
- (in ancient Greece) A woman's loose outer tunic or shawl.
- For apple shapes, the right length of peplum will create wider hips which will balance your broader shoulders.
- An hourglass will benefit by creating an even more flirty shape with a little fullness at the hip.
- And for a girl without a naturally defined shape this strong silhouette will give you the illusion of a smaller waist AND some sexy hips.
