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?

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.
