I am not at all a fan of peplums.
Those weird bits of excess waist fabric do less than nothing for my figure and as my torso most definitely does not require a bib I knew exactly how I could quickly refashion this fabulous vintage polyester thrift shop discovery with absolutely no sewing involved:

I carefully chopped off those silly side ties as close to the seam as possible.
Then carefully sliced off the peplum as close to the seam as possible too.
Awesome result, eh?

I love it so much! It’s beautiful and fits perfect!!!
Lieben Dank Nina! 😀
Please tell me that dress will be for sale- it is stunning!
Nope! When a gorgeous refashioned vintage find fits like a glove I definitely hold on to it! 😉
I love a peplum and frankly didn’t think there would be a whole lot of difference without it. But WOW it made a HUGE difference and just got a whole lot of sexy! Well Done! I love this dress you have the BEST thrifting karma.
Luckily my fave charity shop has yet to be discovered by the annoying Berlin hipsters and “vintage” resellers 😀
Much nicer and more flattering!
Peplums are ridiculous. Thankfully this was a crazy easy fix 😀
