When worn, the peplos was folded over at the neckline to make an apoptygma , or as fashion historian Harold Koda calls it, a capelet-like overfold. The dress would be fastened at the front of the shoulders with two fibulae , or brooches, to which Koda refers as the single defining detail of the peplos, and to an extent, the Doric stye of dress for both sexes (though mens clothing in the Doric style AKA the Doric chiton could be fastened on one shoulder only, and did not have the apoptygma)
The button-down front adds a vintage-inspired charm, while the side button detail with a strap allows you to fold and adjust the skirt for customizable styling
You can typically see that in the back because you see a kind of quarter-circle wrinkle underneath my shoulder blade, you might see a wrinkle on the front side of my shirt, and youll see a wrinkle underneath my armpit
The box pleats add volume to the skirt while keeping the silhouette feeling fresh
