Burda Style For people who sew
Description
It’s sort of magic because it looks like a two-piece ensemble, but it isn’t! The secret lies in the detachable peplum (I can’t help but get the King Missile song of the similar name in my head each time I say “detachable peplum”). The dress is simply a shift dress, which, incidentally passed the “Mena Test” and the zipper was omitted.
The peplum is a separate piece that’s tied at the waist with a bow! To me, this is the only way I ever want to do a peplum again. When I want a very simple dress, I can just remove the peplum and voila…

That’s a lovely pretty dress. I’ve been looking at detachable peplums too -there are a few interesting patterns from around the 1940s that feature them!

I adore the neckline and the contrast (piping?) you’ve got going on there. Love the fabric too :)
