Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I find that it has to drape well and it can't be too stiff, lest you look like a tent. I tried this dress, for example, and it looked horrible on me:</p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50190&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=661646&#038;scid=661646012" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....=661646012</a></p> <p>Cotton twill was just the wrongest ever possible fabric to use on this dress. Too thick, too stiff. It looked so cute in the picture, I was bummed when it didn't work in real life.</p> <p>I like rayon and silk best for voluminous tops. The silk top I have is dressier while the rayon is more casual, but all of them drape nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-voluminous-silhouettetop-for-hourglass#post-124353 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 02:56:21 +0000 chewyspaghetti 124353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's just a lot of trial and error. There will be volumous tops that will flatter you, but there are so many variables that it's best to just go and try a bunch on. Take pictures in the dressing room so you can look back at them (or post them for opinions). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-voluminous-silhouettetop-for-hourglass#post-124345 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:55:06 +0000 AlexSue 124345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a busty hourglass too and definitely prefer fitted shirts. Front knot blouses kind of like this one in Angie's store are flattering: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/store/2010/02/04/plus-size-sweet-pea-knot-front-top/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/store/20.....front-top/</a> Another option is to wear a billowy shirt but belt it at the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-voluminous-silhouettetop-for-hourglass#post-124336 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:42:27 +0000 puffenstuff 124336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being an hourglass I usually stick to more fitted/tailored silhouttes for tops but they get kind of boring. I have some tops that are a bit more on the billowy side but sometimes cant seem to make them work. Any suggestions on what kind of silhouette I should be looking out for that will flatter my hourglass/big bust/short legged frame? </p>
