- Hourglass: Fitted bodices, wrap closures, and waist-defining details flatter natural curves, let the fabric: 100% cotton, lining: 100% cotton skim rather than cling.
- Tall: Maxi lengths, column silhouettes, and tiered hems elongate beautifully. Vertical seaming here enhances height without overpowering proportion.
