TREND ALERT: Peplums


Peplum-styled shirts and dresses have been around for a long time, but this season they have become very popular again. Peplums are characterized  as a small skirt that attaches at the waist and falls at the hip. They originally emerged on the fashion scene in the 1940's and 50's...

...but have had a recent resurgence due to the uber-feminine and curvy silhouette that it provides.

Peplums are a popular choice for any woman that wants to create the illusion of a small waist and curvy hips,  regardless of her actual size or body shape.
