Denim Peplum Dress

This week's Refashion Runway challenge - Peplums - had me stumped at first. As many of others have said, I was not really on board with the resurgence of the peplum fashion trend. It took some extensive Pinteresting to find a style I liked, but I have to say I am incredibly pleased with the result.

I started with this free dress, which clearly did not fit me or current fashion trends...

Seriously, I am yet again amazed at how you transform items!!! I am going to have to up my game and see if I can't pull something like this off, cause you make it look so good :) So flattering, modest, and modern. Love it!
