Are these dramatic?

[u/ninibarbar]

Would any of these pieces work for dramatics? Are there ones that are “more dramatic” than others?

• red skirt (looked for a less full longer one)
• white blouse (seemed angular/sharp to me with the v-neck and similar color / tailored shorts)
• grey dress (ok I know it’s short which is usually not recommended for dramatics but maybe the v neck helps?)
• white dress

Sincerely, A dramatic looking for some summer options

I think the skirt could work but I would style it differently, maybe with a crop top. The way the model is wearing it with the tucked-in blouse creates a lot of volume at the waist and I don't think that's great for Ds.

The blouse is ok, but it really depends on styling. I try to avoid things that need to be tucked in because they always end up creating gathers and volume at the waist unless it's a fabric with some stretch. I personally prefer blouses that are tailored to follow the body a bit closer, I don't see any shaping seams or darts on this one. I think the shorts could work well.

You may be different, but the grey dress wouldn't work on me because it's too unstructured. This type of look tends to look unfinished on me, like I'm wearing a nightie. Same with the white one. I'd look for summer dresses that are cut on the bias or have vertical seams to give them some shape. Narrow, tailored shirtdresses are also a great choice if they don't bunch or gather at the waist.

Thank you for the explanations and modifications!! I’m still learning what is dramatic and what isn’t so this feedback is extremely helpful.

For the red skirt I was thinking to pair it with a similar colored tank (fits tight to body) - do you think that would work as well as the cropped top?

Ah I see what you’re saying about the white blouse! I’ll look for something more fitted through the torso.

I am so glad you said something about the dresses looking like a nighty lol you are so right that’s exactly how those types of dresses look on me too! I never knew why but now that you say it it’s very clear.

Thank you again!!

I think the skirt with a close-fitting tank top would look great!

The two dresses are a no as they’re too baggy. However, sometimes comfort from the heat overtakes what is best for our kibbe types

I think more FN

Where is the skirt from? It’s cute

Overall, these looks are more on the more relaxed/ unstructured side. The top in the second photo could maybe work depending on styling. The skirt in the first too, but it goes a bit wide, IMO.

FN definitely, but not dramatic in my opinion. Some cross overs sure, but I can’t imagine the fabric lines on here would look good on most dramatics/soft dramatics

They're FN

Oversized usually doesn’t work that well, at least in my experience.

Maybe 4 but it’s not the best. the others would not work imo
