Perky Peplum

So I decided what my life was really missing was a peplum.

When I first saw the Prada Autumn Winter 2008 collection I wasn't really enamored but I did really like the peplums sitting against the very neat silhouettes. I decided I would create my own.

I decided I wanted a quilted one with individual circle shaped rather than a traditional style. I cut five semi-circles and filled them with the stuff used for the inside of duvets. I attached them to a PVC waist band onto which I put 4 ribbon ties. Voila! A quilted peplum. And please excuse my shiny, makeup free face and unwashed hair.

You need to put make each one of those a little purse and then it will be a fancy fanny pack!

they kind of look like clams
im not sure i like it really but it might be one of those things that grow on you

you are so cute! I love all your DIY projects. it's very endearing that you actually make things by hand.

That is remarkably cute! I wasn't too sure at first, but the more I look the more I like. Very inventive Queenie. Cx

I actually like the whimsical peplums against the otherwise-strict silhouette (not like how we normally see you, Queen M)- they are cute!

i agree with wendy... also... i'm wondering if you can do this with shoulder pads?

A beautiful DIY creation, and a beautiful Queen Michelle.

Very interesting, I love a bit of DIY!

Hi Michelle,

Love the DIY! Vey creative. I am always ripping shoulder pads off vintage shirts and dresses. Thanks for the tip!

Also, my friend and I have decided to start a fashion blog, similar to yours. Please stop by our blog if you get the chance!

What a cool idea. I love how it transforms a fairly simple outfit to something that you could easily pass off as couture.

Would you consider wearing your peplum in the back only as a modern bustle?

Laurie, my peplum goes all the way around so it's the same at the front as the back.
