Peplum perfect

We all like bit of ruffle, so it's pleasing to see the peplum maintain its hold on the high street after taking the catwalks by storm earlier in the year. It may have had more comebacks than Frank Sinatra, but for us vintage aficionados it has never been far away.

A popular feature of 1940s fashion and later taking the 80s by storm, the peplum serves to accentuate the flattering, ultra feminine hourglass shape that we all crave, as its hip skimming ruffle helps create the illusion of a smaller  waist . It's fun, it's flirty, it's everywhere, and it looks like it's here to stay!

By way of illustration, here is a small peplum selection from our current Frockery catalogue.
