Peplums Yes or No?
lakaribane Beginner HAITI Member since 7/23/07 Posts: 1746	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 6/25/12 4:05 PM I love peplums or basquine as we call them here. Check this Prabal Gurun on Zoe Saldana from TandL today: How cute is that? My first "grown up" dress as a teen was a lime green linen peplum dress my Sewing Aunt had made for me. Loved it...after I took out the Peter Pan collar, of course! I have a lots of plans envolving peplums (let's hope I make at least one before it goes out of fashion again) Any takers? ------ Fashion Maté, where I blog about what I (eventually) sew : http://fashionmate.blogspot.com Addicted to Pinterest?

However, I just started following Erica B's blog and saw her versions in black faux leather and white cotton. Very cute and simple with the focus on the cut. Her styling is of the peplum is also accessible. I might be inspired to try if there is a sale on Vogue patterns but am a bit worried on how it would look on someone with a disproportionately long torso.

Just wanted to add that the blouse pattern in the Burda Sewing Handbook has a peplum-- not too frilly. My daughters weren't thrilled with the pattern until I sewed it up, then they loved it! It adds a style detail and allows the waist to be very fitted. ------ A balanced diet is a cupcake in each hand.

On the one hand, they are very feminine and can make your waist look *tiny!* On the other hand, I'm picturing some oversized/fussy peplums from late '80s bridesmaids' gowns and getting a little short of breath.

If you can control that, you can control the "80's Bridesmaid" look!

After the URL of the image, add width=XXX with XXX being your choice of pixel numbers. So the code should look like ‹ IMG SRC='image url' width=XXX / › Example of width set to 100 Example of width set to 500 Hope that helps!
