  -> Thank you, Verginia.

agree  Filipa Plant dos Santos: definitely agree. A peplum has always been a peplum. This website is one that my 12-year old daughter really likes to look at. New look is quite a nice chain store for younger women in the UK. If they use this term, It's good for use in UK English, IMO!
