2012 Trend: The Peplum

Most of you probably know that Peplums are indeed one of the big trends for 2012 but most aren't sure how or where to wear it.  A peplum, by definition, is a short overskirt or ruffle attached to a jacket, blouse, or dress and is really designed to show the curve of the hip and create the illusion of a smaller waist. 

How Brides and Bridesmaid Can Wear It:
At Kerried Away the Kerri and Lane dresses are our two options of a peplum shown below.  Peplums are great for the bride or bridesmaids.  Brides might wear a cream or white peplum dress to the rehearsal dinner or going away outfit and have her bridesmaids wear a peplum as their dress for the wedding day.  If a bride just loves the look of a peplum she might even consider a peplum wedding dress.  The bridal gowns below are some of our personal favorites.
