Ever since I saw Liv Tyler's cashmere crop top-clad Corey in Empire Records, I've had a penchant for midriff-skimming attire. But for a long time there I felt like I was stranded alone on the wrong side of the 90s, trying to keep alive a passion that others buried with Jennifer Lopez when she became J-Lo. Cut to now and the same naysayers are hitching the hemlines of their top half ever higher, and there are some cuter than cute reinterpretations cropping up, ahem, all over the place.
Peeps.org has a gaggle of handmade offerings available for not too many of your dollars, considering that the exchange rate is kind to us right now. Peeps is a one lady ship, helmed by the skillful Mia Lindquist - a fashion student barely shy of her teen times. Her designs vary from the velvety and loose, to the ruched and criss-cross, but every piece is delicately made to order. For those with a strict aversion to waistline exposure, there are also unique dresses and jumpsuits that are equally as tempting.
