Peplum Comeback.

Originated in the mid-19th Century, the peplum has evolved from a mere extra overskirt that dropped from the waist to one that’s fitted to a jacket or dress. It’s a godsend to women with its nipped in waist, creating an illusion of an hourglass figure whilst maintaining a flirty feel. Everyone’s wearing it; from the runway to the red carpet and even the Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted in this comeback style. The extra material off the waist will hide any junk in the trunk, so if you’re not one for dieting, the peplum may be your ticket to looking trim on your wedding day. Go on, strut your stuff.
