I'm a short hourglass figure with gigantic bones and very short arms and legs. As I'm 5'3" and my target weight is 145 lbs, it's very hard for me to find things that don't make me look extremely fat. I can sometimes pull off a voluminous top if it is made just right and I can find the right pants, shoes and accessories, but usually, I'm better off going with extremely tailored items, though I wish I could do the voluminous look. I remember how hideous it all was in the 80's, and have actually been rather inspired to see new ways to make the horrid 80's ideas look very good- I just have to use that inspirations to help my friends find new styles rather than myself, but I'm having a lot of fun with it, nonetheless.

I am very short and slightly built and so have decided to only do a few volume based pieces-- a couple of tops and trapeze dresses-- while keeping the rest of my silouhette fitted and slim. Everything in my wardrobe is tailored but adding the volume made me feel I was more "with it". The return of 80s has been hard but I've accepted that these styles, or variations of them, are here to stay, possibly indefinitely. Which was initially traumatizing but now not so much so-- not sure why, maybe I've just accepted that this is how the U.S. likes to dictate what to wear. (sorry for that bitter note but it seems I've watched these styles come and go for 30 years now, and this is my perspective) The voluminous styles did not make sense to me at all until I bought a couple of skinny belts.

I feel quite intimidated by even the thought of trying on some of these voluminous outfits. On the other hand, I have loved leggings and had a lot of fun creating unusual combinations with them (for e.g. leggings with walk shorts). I did buy a dress that's somewhat voluminous and it looks great - I wear it with leggings and it has a fitted neck and shoulder so I don't feel like a complete bag when wearing it.
