Faux two-piece, knee-length dress with half-sleeves, lapels, and double-layer peplum. Sleeves have buttoned cuffs. 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. |
