Garments with a nipped-in waist and just enough drape to create an elegant rather than a super-snug shaping are superior wardrobe staples. Pop princess Beyoncй gets this look just right, but Rosie O’Donnell gets it all wrong. O’Donnell, seemingly in an effort to hide her heft, wears clothes that are too large for her, and they make her look bigger. Finding clothes with a precise fit is something of an art. Even the most svelte celebs err in this area.
“Desperate Housewives” stick figure Eva Longoria shimmies around in skintight clothes on Wisteria Lane that have absolutely no drape at all. The result is a straitjacket look that might be in keeping with her character but is extremely unflattering. Dress shirts and blouses from Audrey Talbott are well tailored, stylish and have just the right amount of drape to flatter most body types.
