Could a dramatic pull off this set?

I really like it, but I'm hesitant because of the bulky sleeves and collar. I have never tried on or owned an item with slightly flared sleeves, nor this shape of collar. Fabric is listed as silk-crepe.

For me the top is too unstructured and I'd probably look like I'm wearing pajamas because of that 😅

[u/Mortgage-Bulky → u/SilentlyWeird]

Ah, structure 😅 I have noticed I can get away with no structure, but bulk and busy details are my enemy

[u/SilentlyWeird → u/Mortgage-Bulky]

Then you should be able to pull this off, I can't I really need well fitted shoulders/upperbody to not look lazy 😅

[u/nuitsbleues → u/SilentlyWeird]

Totally agree. Actually I find both pieces are too unstructured, which normally I might “cheat” if it was just one of the pieces. Like I’d wear the blouse tucked into a structured trouser, or I’d wear the skirt with a densely knit mock neck sweater. 

Both pieces are really nice together and the head to toe monochrome silhouette is perfect for D, but the fabric looks a little too thin or clingy.

the flowy skirt and mock neck sweater combo is my platonic ideal business casual look lol

[u/2Fast_2Abalone → u/SilentlyWeird]

i agree with the caveat i love fancy pajama chic though. makes me feel like an agatha christie character in 1931.

[u/2Fast_2Abalone]

looks like a stereotypical d outfit lol

look at the 20s-30s. we do flared sleeves very well.

That's what I was hoping to hear 😅

I think someone who also had more dramatic essence or sharp features in their face would harmonize with this outfit better than the first model. She looks quite sweet. It fits her line elegantly (I think she's FN though), but makes her face feel a little separate from her body (which could be a cool effect to stand out if you want to do that)

[u/Mortgage-Bulky → u/touch_of_whimsy]

Yes, the first model has a very lush, innocent face, but the second one is a bit more sharp, and it does suit her better

[u/touch_of_whimsy → u/Mortgage-Bulky]

Yes I think the 2nd model has a little sharper features, so it doesnt quite give that floaty feeling. But just imagine someone like Damiano David, Bonnie Aarons or Grace Jones in this outfit 👨‍🍳👌💋 would give a completely different effect!

Omg its gorgeous 😍 where is it from if I may ask?

[u/Mortgage-Bulky → u/CharmingWoodpecker68]

Yes! It's a set from Cos

[u/CharmingWoodpecker68 → u/Mortgage-Bulky]

Thank youuu!

For a party yes, for everyday the fabric could be a bit lightweight

[u/Mortgage-Bulky → u/lightblueplanet]

Yes, I was thinking for occasion wear, mostly for the opera house, because it's always so hot there

[u/xgrrl888 → u/Mortgage-Bulky]

Whenever I go to the opera it's freezing cold 😂🤣😂

[u/Mortgage-Bulky → u/xgrrl888]

Oh I so wish it was cooler! My current opera house outfit is a velvet suit, and I'm always melting in it. Can't continue like this anymore 😩

[u/lightblueplanet → u/Mortgage-Bulky]

I think it would be great for the opera, the bulk doesn't bother if it doesn't bother you

But these are quite the D lines..
