These Peplum pants are one of my most recent projects. I was inspired by our cat's "cone of shame", which he hated. I saw the shape and despite his dislike of this cone I could see from him, I knew that I had to make a piece with the same silhouette. The movement in the flounces of these pants is honestly remarkable and I love to strut the street and watch as people's eyes follow.
The base pants were thrifted, and had needed some embellishment. Working from my stash of fabrics, I had determined that I could use these blues together to bring some flare to the original base pants. The conical bells from the knee down brought about images of circus acts and fantasy, with the upper flares providing a more aquatic, fish like energy.
