It is going back. I wanted to love it but I just can't imagine where I would wear it. It is too body con for work and not something I'd want to wear for date night. I don't think sizing up would help, I think it would be lumpy in an unattractive way if it was not fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764652 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 14:05:30 +0000 shiny 764652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a tad too small on you, width wise, which is why it's not flaring. But also it's sort of giving you a uniboob effect, and clinging a bit too much in the midsection. For something like this, I'd not want to go too body-con. But if you go up in size, then it may be too long, though that could be altered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764604 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 12:53:48 +0000 Janet 764604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering if it just needs to be styled differently. The tee underneath seems to be contributing to the bulkier, armour feel, and I would try a simpler skirt as well. </p> <p>I have this top too, but am only now starting to think about wearing it because warm weather lasted so long, and I'm finding it challenging to come up with casual stylings of it because i have had very little opportunity to dress up lately. I do love it though, so I intend to keep it even if it's not a frequently worn piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764585 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 11:55:07 +0000 Suz 764585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Rita has hers layered over a T, correct? </p> <p>I also think this is the risk/ problem with peplums. If they hit a person just right and the person fills them out, they are fab; if they hit at the wrong place the peplum either juts out seemingly on its own or falls a bit flat and the look is not as fab. OR, I suppose, if the peplum simply mirrors one's own curves or follows them exactly, it doesn't look peplum-ish. But it could be photo angle here also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764555 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 09:34:41 +0000 Deborah 764555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rita. I'm going to find a pic of Mary's. I recall it looking quite different. The peplum on this one is not distinct at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764495 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 03:47:43 +0000 modgrl 764495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is the same top that maryk has. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764485 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 03:36:18 +0000 Deborah 764485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am confused! Is this the same one that MaryK has? I thought hers was sleeveless and all leather. I don't think this is quite right for you Rita. My suggestion was going to be try the same one MaryK has and see how it looks with a contrasting long sleeve top layered underneath (if that's the look you are going for). With the right fit, I think this type of top would look quite fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764296 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 00:06:15 +0000 Thistle 764296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others. I say return it. You are right, it really doesn't "peplum". If you are after more of the UWP look, this might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764275 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:48:12 +0000 Day Vies 764275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your instincts are good -- if you don't love it return it. I imagine it's supposed to have a wow factor being leather and all, but I find myself more drawn to the skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764266 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:42:22 +0000 cciele 764266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should try this one:<br /> <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=361055002" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....=361055002</a></p> <p>I like it a lot better than the NAS one (had both at one time). But I returned mine sadly due to "when would I wear this" angst. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764242 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:20:17 +0000 catgirl 764242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sent mine to MaryK - I think I was too long in the torso and/or busty to make it work. It looks fantastic on her though! Will you wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764240 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:18:37 +0000 Anonymous 764240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhh.. Ok. I got mine a while ago and it looks the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764234 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:06:57 +0000 Mo 764234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How odd - is this the exact one Una and Mary K had? I agree, the flare just doesn't seem to be there. Hunh. I would sadly return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764232 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:02:13 +0000 Raisin 764232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yah I think you're right it doesn't have enough flare to look peplum. I think it should be a return...you're not that into it, and it doesn't have quite the right look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764229 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:00:34 +0000 modgrl 764229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It just came in the mail, it was on back order from NAS </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764227 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:58:02 +0000 fern 764227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, but in a very armor-y costume-y way. I think it's fun, but you're not feeling it?<br /> For when you want to be a wench? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764225 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:56:36 +0000 Anonymous 764225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same reaction, I was going to return it but my daughter saw it and snatched it out of my hands. I then saw Mary K's outfits with it and I'm no longer sure, it looks amazing on her. It is not mine anymore anyway! If you had it for this long and it is still not worn, is perhaps a sign that it should go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764221 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:52:01 +0000 modgrl 764221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or not flare around my hips </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764220 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:51:30 +0000 modgrl 764220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure how I would wear it if not with a pencil skirt. It doesn't look good with jeans. Too lumpy around the middle. The funny thing about it is that there's no peplum on me, it's just sort of fit and flare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764217 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:50:14 +0000 Queen Mum 764217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yea, I'm not loving it. I agree with your leather armor assessment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764213 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:42:13 +0000 bj1111 764213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>seems ott with the reptile print skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-front-peplum#post-764206 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:35:07 +0000 modgrl 764206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The longer I wear it the more I lean towards return. It is more like a leather armored corset than a peplum on me. Any thoughts from YLF? </p>
