Both are correct Doug, I think the answer you choose should be based more on what is more likely to be understood by the target audience in the country for which the translation is destined for.

peplum

This term has been commonly used recently as the style is currently very fashionable.

They even have their own category in some high-street shops:

Thank you, Verginia.
agree Filipa Plant dos Santos : definitely agree. A peplum has always been a peplum. This website is one that my 12-year old daughter really likes to look at. New look is quite a nice chain store for younger women in the UK. If they use this term, It's good for use in UK English, IMO!
