Retro Fashion Review

Fashion Synopsis

An extra little flounce of fabric, the peplum became extremely popular in the excess of the 80’s. One skirt just wasn’t enough, so the peplum offered a second, shorter skirt over the first to satisfy even the most skirt-hungry fanatic.

Peplums were seen frequently in 1940’s women’s wear, and before that were often called ‘basques,’ meaning an additional skirt on a bodice. In the 80’sm peplums weren’t only for skirts, however—occasionally, they were seen on pants, shorts and even jackets. Wherever a little ‘floof’ of fabric could be placed to put some swing in the thing, peplums were there.
