Peplum

Peplum , from Greek πέπλος, refers to a woman's dress that reaches down to the ankles. In fashion, in a slightly different way, garments with many folds are called peplum.

A technical fur lexicon from 1950 describes the ancient peplum as a “woman's dress with numerous straight skins”.

A differentiated description of the classical Peplum or Peplus, which in parts also differs considerably, can be found in the work by Anthony Rich, Illustrated Dictionary of Roman Antiquities , published in 1862, with constant consideration of the Greek.
