A peplum is ...a short flouce on a jacket

and just what is the connection, linguistic or invented, at your discretion, between peplum as above and Peplum (plural: pepla) is a distinct film genre. The common English language term is "'sword & sandal film (as per Gladiators?)

Wouldn't dream of it, Rod! You just proved that it's time the peplum style was brought back ... but I don't know about that skirt ... I have enough "posterior" not to need all that padding!

I await, all atwizzle, comments from darling Helen on your note :
" Helen, that MUST be you at http://www.janeswool.com/peplum.htm"

I think in the fifties in the Philippines if you went to a dressmaker and ask for a peplum to be included in your outfit, you will get what Helen and wow are talking about.
