Hi Rich,<br>
You seem to be describing a "peplum." It is Greek "peplos" and very archaic, but had a long life, if the Romans had a name for it. It is the easiest and indeed most revealing Greek article of clothing. It does fall open, but my models use a button--loop combination for more modest venues. My FAQs page on women's clothing has a few shots. By the way, the new season begins next week and I'll be on the road for a few days, but I hope to come back with new and better photos of all the new costumes and armorial improvement. Finally got an Albion/Depeeka Lorica Segmentata (Corbridge A) to replace my Museum Replicas POS. I can even fit into it, and my soldier thinks he's died and gone to legionary heaven!<br>
