I think the minimal-bustle "natural form era" styles, which is what this is, look better on shorter women than on very tall and slender ones. Tall women can wind up looking like a pole in them, if they are not careful. (I'm 4'9", BTW.) ******************** Yes. Princess line gowns on curvy figures can be very flattering...even if one is short. And you don't have that huge wired bustle to deal with. I've seen examples of the princess gown is a simple as possible... with ruching and draping in the same fabric tacked onto the princess line base gown. It looks like a complicated draped gown all in one but it's really several pieces. The only problem is I think of them as late 1870's. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
