What I really meant to ask about is a more dropped shoulder, like this:</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5042&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=674027002" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=674027002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sleeves-shoulders#post-1540162 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 17:08:27 +0000 Angie 1540162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, this post might be helpful:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/21/the-versatility-of-the-soft-raglan-sleeve/">http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/.....an-sleeve/</a></p> <p>Raglan sleeves do a marvelous job of narrowing a broad shoulder line, and broadening a dainty one. They are magical, just like diagonal lines.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. We can all wear them. Plenty of structure. But fabric is key. I suspect you'll want one in a drapey and dressy fabric - instead of a stiff sweatershirt shirt fabric.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. A <i>strong</i> shoulder line is a <b>broad</b>&nbsp;<b>and square</b> shoulder line. Pointy shoulders.&nbsp;IT's have very strong shoulder lines. Narrow shoulders - like mine - or sloping shoulders are the opposite of a strong shoulder line. Narrow shoulders that are very square - like mine (I'm only making the reference to myself because you have seen me in person a few times, which I thought would help!) - tend to create a stronger line in clothes than narrow shoulders that slope.&nbsp;</p> <p>Some clothing is best suited to strong shoulders - and some clothing is best suited to dainty shoulders. Raglan sleeves are magical on both. Hope that makes sense.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sleeves-shoulders#post-1540150 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 16:55:19 +0000 Kyle 1540150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is 2 questions in 1:</p> <p><b>Raglan Sleeves</b>: Who can wear them best? I keep trying, and can't figure out why I&nbsp; never think they work. Too slouchy? Not enough sense structure? Maybe others find this confusing, too. </p> <p><b>Strong Shoulder Line</b>: Does the answer to the raglan issue connect to having or not having a strong shoulder line? You refer to this quite often in your fab find recommendations, and I'm not quite sure how one determines what constitutes a strong shoulder line. It feels a bit subjective, unlike say, a small or large bust. </p> <p>Thank you for helping me, and hopefully others, better understand.</p> <p> </p>
