If you thought the revival of noughties fashion trends was over, think again. We've seen the return of slinky slip dresses, baguette bags, low-rise jeans, and even capri pants. But now, get ready for another blast from the past - peplums! Peplums made a big splash on this year's Bafta red carpet, along with puffball skirts. And they're set to hit the high street in time for summer.
The 80s-inspired silhouette is not only feminine and flirty but also figure-enhancing. The frill detail at the waist, which usually falls slightly over the stomach, emphasises your slimmest part (your waist) while helping to conceal any lumps and bumps. What's not to love?
If you want to try the trend without looking like an 80s throwback, trust me, it's easy and affordable. I've found the perfect high street piece at River Island this week. Their black shirred spot print midi dress, priced at , is a total style steal and shoppers (me included) are already snapping it up.

Made entirely of cotton, when the warmer weather returns, and curvy ladies can be confident that the style will flatter their figures too.
Stretchy shirred detailing on the bodice will accommodate larger busts (River Island)The shirred detailing on the bodice allows for a comfortable fit and some stretch if you have a larger bust, perfect for those who struggle to find dresses that fit a D+ cup. If you need extra support up top, make sure to invest in a good strapless bra - the thin cami straps won't hide thick bra straps, unfortunately.
And if that wasn't enough to tempt you, there are two colourways available. Polka dots are back again for another summer and are a timeless purchase, but white is always a good idea.
