I have too many clothes to physically separate then in my closet (as well - many pieces will work in more than one silhouette.) I plan to use my StyleBook app to have categories of each Silhouette, with looks collected under each Silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210592 Sun, 18 Jul 2021 01:57:32 +0000 Staysfit 2210592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Volume/Volume=Fab!</p> <p><div>Number 1 is my definite favorite, but I like all of these outfits. &nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>When you organize your closet, are you making separate sections for each silhouette? &nbsp;Is there a voluminous top section? &nbsp;A fit and flare section? etc.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210362 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 05:37:22 +0000 Bijou 2210362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When wearing this silhouette, I find a cross body bag good to rein in the volume. I love #1 best, as it had a very fluid drape to the fabric.#5 I like least because the fabric is less fluid and hangs away from your body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210342 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 03:41:07 +0000 Anonymous 2210342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such an interesting series of posts. I can see the volume over volume. 1,4 &amp; 8 are my favorites on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210341 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 03:26:06 +0000 Sal 2210341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree Roxanna that 5 isn't quite working for the reasons you say.&nbsp; I think the top could work with a slimmer style of pants.&nbsp; I am drawn to these easy loose summer tops too but find them a bit challenging as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210339 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 03:05:40 +0000 notsaf 2210339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these looks on you and agree they look modern! I'll say here too that the kind of pattern in #1 is particularly lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210215 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 16:40:01 +0000 rachylou 2210215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoops!

I noticed that nobody liked the silhouette in #5 and I think it's because:<br /> The top hits me too low and goes straight across</p> <p>The top does not have enough structure through the neck and shoulder and feels too oversized</p> <p>The sweater on top is also loose and doesn't provide structure. </p> <p>Helpful for the next time I put this look together... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210045 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 00:16:11 +0000 Anonymous 2210045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1-3 most cause Cinnamon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210039 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 23:58:59 +0000 Vildy 2210039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 6/7 and 8 are extremely sexy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210035 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 23:32:07 +0000 Anonymous 2210035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great formula for you - at least to my eye .

I also find the blue handkerchief hem and white personally tempting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2210001 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 20:11:03 +0000 Jonesy 2210001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love volume over volume and I agree with everyone else that this silhouette works really well for you! I love wearing VOV and for me, I generally seek tops that hit at my low hip (about 2-3" above my crotch point), so my hips are partly visible, otherwise I don't like how it looks on me. This might come down to differing body shapes (as I just mentioned in my near-book-length response to your post about being short-waisted, LOL) and how my IT-ness comes into play when I'm thinking about JFE proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2209911 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 13:01:38 +0000 lyn67 2209911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanx for breaking me down the formula for the same silhouette I curently am attracted to, either.

KILLER cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2209829 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 02:29:56 +0000 Jaime 2209829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. Agree with all you say and your photos prove the point. The color combination in #4 is smashing on you. #3 frames your face beautifully. Dresses are a slam dunk. Etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2209782 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 22:05:45 +0000 Star (Lise) 2209782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 4, 7 and 8 are very flattering and look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2209760 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 20:12:45 +0000 CarolS 2209760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome. I especially love 1, 4 and 8, That white dress is so pretty on you. I love the shape and drape of the top in #1.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2209751 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 18:20:02 +0000 Carla 2209751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! &nbsp;You ‘do’ this silhouette&nbsp;<i>very&nbsp;</i>well. &nbsp;I suspect it has to do with structure at/around the shoulder, and possibly curly hair that balances the fullness. &nbsp;Great colours, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2209748 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 18:08:43 +0000 Irina 2209748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this silhouette, you know that so, huge yes from me.<br />I think it works well for you and doesn’t look sloppy or overwhelming to my eye. I absolutely adore your dresses, You look fantastic in them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2209746 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 18:06:40 +0000 Suz 2209746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, 1, 2, and 3 are killer killer great on you! Love the top in #1. You can definitely wear this silhouette. I agree that the key is enough structure in the right places.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-2-volume-over-volume#post-2209739 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 17:15:03 +0000 Roxanna 2209739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I've been sharing in my recent posts, I'm on a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-style-journey-evolution">wardrobe management journe</a>y.</p> <p> The step that I identified that would help in managing my wardrobe is identifying silhouettes that work for me. from there, I am slotting my pieces into each of these silhouettes. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-1-fluid-top-flaredeasy-bottom">Here</a> is my post on my FF priorities and my first silhouette: Fluid Top + Flared/Easy bottom.</p> <p>My second silhouette is Volume over Volume  - either sack dress or voluminous top over voluminous bottom.</p> <p>This is not a conventionally flattering silhouette, for sure. But as a curvy hourglass, I have leaned into conventional FF guidelines for  along time, and I find these voluminous silhouettes a little more modern and freeing. I love to see them represented on the forum too! Particularly inspired by @Angie, @LisaP, @Deb and @Irina.</p> <p>I think the key here to making it look polished or JFE  is structure - through a bag, shoes, or showing some strategic body lines like arms, collarbones and neck point, or ankles. I also find that the top can't be too long on me, or it looks sloppy.</p> <p>Would love to hear what you think. </p>
