You may not have noticed the latest in
cocktail frocks; many now involve a little trim around your lower waist. But
don’t worry girls, there’s no rush to send your body-con skirts and hoicked up minis
in the direction of the charity bag!
The peplum dress showcases not rows of ruffles but rather a single, short, tapered over-skirt, or frill if you like. It’s not only sophisticated, but gives you the silhouette you’ve always desired.
And this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the peplum in our fashion industry, our wardrobe and on the catwalk. We won’t bore you with the history but this silhouette is primarily associated with the forties and the eighties. Way back when, the peplum was worn to draw attention to a tiny-waist and an hourglass figure with the frill just adding drama and excitement towards the stomach and the hips.
Today’s peplum comes in various styles, colours, shapes and sizes and will work for both your body and your budget.
Everybody’s jumping on the peplum look – the a-listers, z-listers and non-listers alike. But as you might have guessed, the price-bands and designer labels may differ amongst.
The 19th century dress has a long history in fashion and is set to mark another place in time. In fact 2012 has seen peplum dresses along with skirts and jackets alike. It’s fashion for your wardrobe and fashion for you.
