Kate Middleton loves a peplum

Kate Middleton was spotted yesterday wearing a gorgeous Matthew Williamson dress, complete with on-trend peplum. It's not always an easy look to carry off - no one wants extra fabric around their hips and bum, do they? But the rest of the dress is usually figure hugging so a peplum could give you extra curves if you choose the right dress. Here are some options with a slightly smaller price tag.

Starting with something subtle, this barely even counts as a peplum - it's a good option if you're new to the trend. Start small, and before you know it you'll be rocking the 80s look. It's a gorgeous bird print and just £39.50 from Dorothy Perkins.

This little black peplum dress might have a little more ruffle action going on, but it's such a good shape it'll be instantly figure hugging and give you some fantastic curves. It's from Joy and it's in the sale at £15.

Does this count as a peplum? Just about. Whatever the asymmetric fabric is doing, it's part of the new Olivia Rubin range for Dorothy Perkins and we want it. It's £49.

Now this is a proper peplum. It's huge, it's bold, it's a little bit ridiculous. it's from Miss Selfridge and it's £49.
