I bookmarked the Judi Dench post fo go back to it over and over.<br /> I never thought of princess Diana as having little waist definition - probably because she didn't try to hide it under layers? There's a lesson here, I feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-explaining-how-to-de-frump#post-304799 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 06:20:17 +0000 Maya 304799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I disagreed with every single example and every single sentence written in that piece.</p> <p>To each their own, I suppose.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-explaining-how-to-de-frump#post-304709 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 00:04:28 +0000 Aziraphale 304709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have much of a waist either, and as I read about what works and what doesn't, I realized that most flattering things in my wardrobe follow the same "rules" that she give for Judi Dench! 3/4 length sleeves, open v-neck, less volume, hint of a waist cut into the shape of the top or dress....she explains it all so clearly. Neat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-explaining-how-to-de-frump#post-304673 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:32:31 +0000 catgirl 304673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love her obsessively detailed analysis and VISUALS! This post on hem length and calves was amazingly helpful:</p> <p><a href="http://clairekennedydesign.typepad.com/the_atelier_of_claire_ken/2011/01/i-digress.html" rel="nofollow">http://clairekennedydesign.typ.....gress.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-explaining-how-to-de-frump#post-304521 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:13:31 +0000 April 304521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone with very little waist definition, I appreciate this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-explaining-how-to-de-frump#post-304489 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 19:00:44 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 304489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blog-explaining-how-to-de-frump#post-304484 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 18:54:19 +0000 MsMaven 304484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is especially useful for women who have no waist. I was reading comments earlier on another blog and someone mentioned that Claire Kennedy has good information with photos explaining what works and what doesn't. </p> <p><a href="http://clairekennedydesign.typepad.com/" rel="nofollow">http://clairekennedydesign.typepad.com/</a></p> <p>Scroll down through the February posts and her analysis of Dame Judi Dench's hits and misses with her no-waist body.</p> <p>It's all about proportion and fit. I'm going to have to read all her blog posts. </p>
