Description
These peplum skirt overlays add a distinctive touch to Victorian or steampunk ensembles, echoing the layered fashions of the 19th century. Made from sturdy 100% cotton, they fasten with two adjustable buckles, allowing the wearer to achieve a snug and comfortable fit. The back features a black satin flounce and a bow, details that harken back to period styles where embellishments and texture played a key role in a garment’s character. You can select between a solid black or a black and white canopy stripe pattern, both common motifs in Victorian textile design. Sizes range from small to extra-large to accommodate various builds.
Fun fact: The peplum skirt overlay evolved from the Victorian bustle, which was originally designed to support and shape the fabric at the back of a skirt, enhancing the wearer’s silhouette by adding volume and emphasizing the waistline,both a practical and fashionable solution of its time.
