Do or Don't:The Peplum


For centuries, fashion girls have been experiencing with various shapes to accent a women's body. There was the era of Marie Antoinette with her "pannier" and Scarlet O'Hara with her hoop skirt

Kristen Dunst and Jason Schwartzman in Marie Antoinette

Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind

These styles were made to make the women wearing them stand out and yes, look much larger than they actually are. However, I do think they look elegant and I would kinda like to try something like that. If only they were in style....oh wait.
 A 21st century version of this has just began exploding on the runways. 
This is the year of the peplum.

What do you think? Will you be wearing a peplum dress to your next event?
I think I'm going to give a try!
