Spring 2012 is definitely partial to peplums, the short little flounce attached to a fitted bodice. A natural mirror of both lower figures and hourglass shapes, adept at accommodating curvy posterior assets. Yet the peplum can also create shape for a linear figure, and add balanced flare to an upper figure. A peplum can even camouflage the soft undulations of a middle figure.

Basically peplums are Pangaea.

So are you saying lower figures can wear peplum? XOXO
charlotte, lower figures can absolutely wear a peplum, the key is finding the right length and volume. Since your hips already flare, the peplum should follow suit rather than stealing the show. It should also narrow in where you are most narrow and end near the widest point of your hips.
Love this look! I just ordered the ASOS Curve top – darling. Your posts the past couple of weeks have been super inspirational. Thanks!
