The peplum featured here would have been the ultimate decorative apron worn purely for effect rather than function. The construction is such that it is form fitting and has an interesting shape around the hips. The bouquet of flowers used to accent this piece is a testament to the fact that all Mainbocher's artificial flowers were beautifully crafted and voluptuous.
