I often pore over your looks at IG for inspiration - you have such a flowy but somehow structured look that is distinctive and stylish. LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190762 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 20:49:32 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2190762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These looks are so beautiful, and I'm even more impressed that you pulled them off while not being exceedingly tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190679 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 16:31:56 +0000 Deborah 2190679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@lyn67 it all happens in my head lol. I cannot remember the last time I bought a complete outfit. I find it’s all very intuitive and outfits usually come together in my head first xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190297 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 14:27:17 +0000 suzieq 2190297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing! You look great. I’m 5’2” tall like you, but I can no longer wear much of a heel, so I go by the traditional drapes on top with fitted on bottom or vice versa. I think the shoes are what help create the illusion of being taller. You do it so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190273 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 11:46:39 +0000 Anonymous 2190273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock the draped looks! I think having the angular haircut and yang shoes keeps it balanced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190271 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 11:41:01 +0000 lyn67 2190271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer fab all round!! Items and accessories all to match in a gorgeous artsy/edgy style. I always wonder how do you do this? I mean do you buy complete outfits or&nbsp; items on their own and then play with them? Do you have your inspiration board or it's all in your head?&nbsp; Wow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190255 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 08:48:41 +0000 Bijou 2190255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this - you look stunning in all of these. Drape is so signature to your style and no one wears this better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190247 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 06:50:22 +0000 Deborah 2190247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you lovelies, you are all so kind.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>@jonesy you are right I am quite tiny in stature.&nbsp; I am 5ft2, but as Angie has taught us over the years, it's all about the correct proportions and creating an illusion of length.&nbsp; The wrong proportions even on a tall person can make an outfit look dumpy.</p> <p>@Zaeobi I do know what you mean. I also prefer to 'cover up' and I find that coverage can certainly help create the architectural lines.&nbsp; And sometimes something simple like revealing a little skin at the ankle or lower arm is enough.</p> <p>@Synne it has been quite a journey and but you know but deep down I always found these styles resonated with me. The effort was more in building my own self confidence and sitting comfortable with my style likes than actually searching for my style if that makes sense.&nbsp; The two questions for me are do I like what I see in the mirror? Do I feel good?&nbsp; I went through a time of trying out all the trends but it never felt authentic.&nbsp; I think it was a lot about wanting to fit in.&nbsp; Now I realise it's not how I dress that makes me 'fit in' or not.</p> <p>@Firecracker I&nbsp; have always thought we shared a love of these looks and you carry an avant garde / draped look off to perfection.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190129 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 19:01:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2190129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the queen of drape, Deborah. These outfits are all excellent examples, and so beautiful! I love the stand-out color you've used to such gorgeous effect in #1, and I would say #2 is my favorite as one I would aspire to wear myself. I love that muted neutral color combo and the way it combines avant-garde and classic elements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190106 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 17:12:45 +0000 Elle 2190106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Suz says, draping is definitely your middle name. Love them all but #1 really stands out for me.&nbsp; I always enjoy your posts and find them very inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190095 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 16:27:09 +0000 Suz 2190095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DRAPE is Deborah's middle name! These are all gorgeous on you, Deb! #3 is incredible!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190088 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 16:20:22 +0000 rachylou 2190088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smashing! I particularly want outfit #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190034 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 13:21:15 +0000 kellygirl 2190034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I have that first outfit in my IG faves. I LOVE it. Every one of your draped outfits is stunning. That really is one of your superpowers. No one does it better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190032 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 13:16:06 +0000 Synne 2190032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning (as expected!). Love your creations, your ART! How did you land with your style? I can imagine it has been a bumpy, fun, frustrating, mind-expanding, wallet-shrinking ride. I know it has been for me, and I'm not even there yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2190004 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 11:38:46 +0000 Zaeobi 2190004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF as always! The colour magpie in me likes all these non black looks, but especially the blue top in #3 </p> <p>One of the aspects I find the most difficult in pulling off these architecturally draped looks is that they often require some skin to be on show in order to make it 'work' (whereas I prefer to be covered up) - I like how that blue cowl neck top proves that baring skin doesn't have to be the only way in which you add a little structure to such a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2189998 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 10:09:11 +0000 Staysfit 2189998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, these look dramatically stunning! &nbsp;Is Jonesy correct about your height? &nbsp;You look so tall! &nbsp;These outfits create an amazing vertical line for you! &nbsp;You are a master of proportion and drape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2189960 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 03:47:46 +0000 Jonesy 2189960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! I love how each of these is distinct from the other but so cohesive as a set, and so true to your amazing style! I also admire how you combine unusual statement pieces with each other, vs. going a more conservative route and allowing one statement per outfit, with the rest more sedate--very inspiring! I cannot pick a fave--they are all fantastic.&nbsp;</p> <p>It bears repeating that you are not tall, correct? I think there is a perception that only tall people can wear draped, voluminous, dramatic looks, but I believe you challenge that notion pretty handily :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-someone-say-%e2%80%98drape%e2%80%99#post-2189957 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 03:20:48 +0000 Jaime 2189957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!
