I agree with the other comments re nipped in waist and<br /> Perhaps a straighter leg pant. You look great in a pencil skirt so that's a no brainer:). I think I would just keep it all simple and streamlined, add interest with accessories and make sure the fit was perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-inspiration#post-731267 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 08:06:03 +0000 rute 731267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look nº 2 will be perfect on your figure! Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-inspiration#post-731234 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:12:33 +0000 Beth Ann 731234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great ideas! Thank you! I'm not interested in going full on "retro," but there is a way to do this in a timeless sense that just radiates understated luxury -- I love that.</p> <p>Oh, and you're right about the PPL -- so essential in wide legs, and so tough to do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-inspiration#post-731233 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:09:54 +0000 Caro in Oz 731233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops didn't see the 3rd one - Angie may have something to say about the pant length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-inspiration#post-731231 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:08:28 +0000 Caro in Oz 731231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second one I think you could do as is. The first I'd simplify &amp; lower the neckline &amp; have pants that weren't as wide - gorgeous looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-inspiration#post-731228 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:05:00 +0000 jayne 731228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would suggest a tapered slouchy trouser instead of the full leg, and a nipped in jacket in both versions (and I am pouting over that animal print....want it so bad). Both could be considered columns of color with a twist, the pink on the grey could be a pink scarf tucked into the jacket and a pink cuff. These are great inspirational photos. I love RL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-inspiration#post-731210 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:10:30 +0000 Beth Ann 731210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving these looks from Ralph Lauren. I'd simplify them for real life, wearing the trousers with a simple but quality turtleneck or shirt. I adore the pop of pink in the skirt ensemble, and I'm always a sucker for a cloche. I'm not sure these looks would translate well to my figure. Anyone have suggestions for making them work on a curvier body not 8 feet tall?</p> <p>ETA -- I found this blogger online, in a suit she made from a 1939 pattern. How fab! I wouldn't wear the ensemble so literally IRL, but she is showing how well an hourglass can wear this silhouette. </p>
