Faux two-piece, knee-length dress with long sleeves, lapels, and double-layer peplum. Sleeves have buttons on the outside of wrists (facing back in this view). Peplum placed at the hip and starting small at the front increases hip-to-waist ratio without adding volume to the lower abdomen, creating an hourglass shape without making the wearer look "pregnant" from a side view. May have boning on bodice seams, and a side-seam zipper. Variation, embellishment, fabric, and print/color suggestions are welcome. |
