Style Tip: How to Create the Shape You Want, With Comfort to Spare
I chose today’s style tip because Thanksgiving is coming up. Therefore, it’s a good time to wear something roomy. Do you have a voluminous piece of clothing that’s comfortable? For instance, I’ve got a beautiful blouse but it is very billowy and needs to be reined in for it to look best. It’s not the kind of piece that can simply be tucked in. However, there are certain ways to remedy the situation. Today’s post shares one idea on how to create the shape you want, whether for Thanksgiving or any day. Age doesn’t matter.
How to Create the Shape You Want, With Comfort
A style tip worthy of a Thanksgiving dinner: Add a vest to a billowy blouse or dress to give it shape.
House of Sunny The Angels Vest from Free People over a billowy dress gives you the shape you want. Try a faux leather vest over a billowy dress or blouse. With this addition, there is no binding around the waist.
A pretty knitted vest adds warmth and creates the shape you want over a loose shirt with billowy sleeves.
A long, sleeveless blazer buttoned over a loose shift or shirt dress is slimming and shape enhancing. Warm tights and flat boots add even more comfort.
Once again, a knitted vest comes to the rescue! On a cool day, it’s cozy and gives you the shape you want over a billowy dress.
A long vest over a voluminous tunic adds style while giving you the shape you want. For the appearance of even more length, accessorize with a long pendant of your choice.
Add shape to a voluminous peasant blouse with the perfect vest!
Manas Vest from Soft Surroundings over a flowy tunic adds long lines for a slimmer look.Wear a long vest over a romantic tunic with statement sleeves or over a swing top. Add a long necklace to continue the long line. Finally, offset the fullness of what’s on top with leggings to emphasize the slimmest part of your body.

You always find such pretty items. The green Soft Surroundings vest really calls out to me.
Thanks, Marcia, I am pretty good at online shopping! I encourage you to consider this piece or something like it. Especially in green, it will be good for the entire holiday season and beyond, as well as go with everything you own.
This is such a clever post, and such great styling tips, Angie!
