Peplum Tops

Peplum, Fit & Flare, whatever they’re called, depending on the Designer- -I don’t think they are flattering on anyone. Showing my age here, but the first time I saw one of these on the Q, I had a flashback to Petunia Pig. For those of you who are too young to know , Petunia was a Comic Book Star in the 50’s and 60’s and Girlfriend of the Famous and Lovable Porky Pig.

I do not like peplum tops or "shark bite" hems because, IMO, they accentuate the hips which is something I do not need--LOL!!

Generally speaking, I like peplum tops because they really define my waist but I'm fairly tall and don't have large hips.

I agree...i CAN'T STAND when Gary & Carolyn stand there and say with the fit and flare tops that they LOOK GOOD ON EVERY BODY TYPE.......they don't......many times Carolyn doesn't look good wearing one....if ANYONE has any kind of midriff bulge like i unfortunately have...the top clings to the ripples and does no favor to your shape.......... and adding the length they have put on almost every top QVC has presented.....it makes it look even worse.

This subject has been talked to death. There are lots of ladies that like them, look good in them and buy them. Isnt it nice there are choices for everyone?

I avoid peplum tops ... contrary to sales pitch, they don’t work for my body type.

I have a long torso and narrow body. I cannot wear any top or dress with a defined waist.

I second what she said.

Well, so has every other topic.
I'm with the op on this. They don't do anyone any favors.

I agree - they do not look good on everybody. For me, they make my shoulders look smaller and my hips bigger. Not the look I want.

I love peplum tops, but I have small hips & waist. I think they look very feminine.

I bought a few..... ended up donating them....look so stupid. Like clothes for 5 year olds. What was I thinking whenI bought them?

A subtle flair can be flattering on some women.

I agree with you and i never understand the need for someone to have to comment negatively about what the op is talking about............agree, disagree.....but why comment

if you are tired of the subject.......just PASS the topic altogether

I tried one ONCE...it looked awful on me.

I’m an apple shape so they don’t work for me. I’m built pretty much straight up and down without much of a waist. By the time I get a top (or pants for that matter) to fit my waist it’s too big everywhere else.

I think peplums work for women who have narrow hips, and want to look more curvy.

Speak for yourself and whomever else you wish to insult but they look amazing on me

I see some women who look good in peplum tops, most do not, imo. In the past I owned 2, one worked, one did not. I believe the slimmer peplum was better on me than the one that was more full. I have wide shoulders and slimmer hips, so that may be why the one worked.

I think the peplum tops are for girls or women that are very thin. If you have a little meat on you, the top will only add pounds.

@GenXmuse

You have my sympathy that peplums don't do YOU any favors. Don't presume to speak for the rest of us--or the myriad of designers throughout the years who found women to beautifully showcase that flounce at the waist.
