Thanks for your feedback!</p> <p>@Suz: Dolmans are usually a warm-weather item for me too, though these slip well into jackets. I think I'll need to get used to the volume on volume thing because my eyes are used to fitted/volume balance. When I look back at the photo, it's not really that bad as the hip/thigh area is a bit more structured/tailored. </p> <p>I will check out Natalie's posts as well. She seems to wear a lot of sheath dresses (which I'm a huge fan of), but I'd like to take a page in her book in how to style separates to satisfy my apple tendencies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dolman-doldrums#post-1072214 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 16:22:15 +0000 Aquamarine 1072214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this and find it very flattering on you. I don't see too much volume...I think it's perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dolman-doldrums#post-1072170 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:17:48 +0000 Shirley 1072170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is great.&nbsp; I don't see anything that is off </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dolman-doldrums#post-1072164 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:13:04 +0000 Angie 1072164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in flares. Fresh and flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dolman-doldrums#post-1072042 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 12:13:58 +0000 Astrid 1072042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it here with the jeans! Good find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dolman-doldrums#post-1072013 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 09:53:18 +0000 Anonymous 1072013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this top looks bad either, I like it with the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dolman-doldrums#post-1071943 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 03:43:29 +0000 Suz 1071943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like dolman sleeves, too. I don't wear them a lot because I also like jackets and they can be hard to layer over, but I have always loved the look.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I like this one on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't find it bad at all with the jeans but perhaps I have a high tolerance for volume on volume? If it bothers you, then wearing with slim jeans should work great!&nbsp;</p> <p>Check out Natalie's posts (Goldenpig). She has great "apple" dressing style and always finds a way to work with her "apple."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dolman-doldrums#post-1071935 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 03:32:50 +0000 MsLuna 1071935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love dolman tops. I really do. It's essential to my personal style, not just because I find it aesthetically pleasing but because it's the ultimate "muffinator" (ermm.... It gets rid of my muffin top). This is why I've been dependent on them for quite sometime.</p> <p>You can see this top in action here as well:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-schoolwork" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....schoolwork</a></p> <p>Yet somehow, I can't get them to work with these flares.</p> <p>I should've posted a side view photo of me because the fit of these AE flares are killer: probably the best-fitting pair I have. However, the jeans got frumpified by the top. Too much volume, perhaps?</p> <p>I've been struggling to pair these flares with a top that doesn't overemphasize the muffin. It's been tough. Cowl necks do a decent job in muffin concealment but sometimes, the muffin just spills out! Semi-tucking fluid button downs make me feel like a man and I struggle with finding tailored jackets that actually curve in to my natural waist. Argh, to be a squishy bellied one!</p> <p>I managed to purchase a fluid dolman sweater for the flares though, and will be attempting Angie's fluid knitwear + flares look in the future. So my flares finally have a top I can wear it with. </p>
