What does PEPLUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A short flared ruffle or strip of fabric attached at the waist of a jacket, dress or blouse.
A peplum gives a garment a flared skirt-like edge below the waistline, and it has returned to fashion several times, especially in the 1940s and again in recent decades. The word comes from the Greek peplos, an outer garment worn by women in ancient Greece, and in older writing it can still refer to that kind of tunic. The two forms are close relatives, but peplum is the usual one for modern clothing.
