I remember making the dropped shoulder style like this in the '80s, but the blouses back then had some amazing design details like angled button plackets on the front, hidden plackets, fancy neck treatments, etc. I think this made the dropped shoulder look a little different and not a focal point Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04420458445442482137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-23980397369158720712009-02-09T16:09:00.000+01:002009-02-09T16:09:00.000+01:00I'm sorry to know that the dropped shoulder featur...I'm sorry to know that the dropped shoulder feature didn't work for you as expected; I really do love the blouse and you did a fantastic job matching those stripes.<BR/><BR/>I hear you on the "How to eat an elephant" issue...

That said, you've done a lovely job with the blouse, it turned out well.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-80460224008423609092009-02-07T15:36:00.000+01:002009-02-07T15:36:00.000+01:00Dropped shoulder garments are casual, somewhat loo...Dropped shoulder garments are casual, somewhat loose garments, but they should not be too big. This top looks too big because of the shaping. The designer tried to put dropped shoulders on a garment that is intended to be shaped and more fitted in the torso. Wrong. This is just not going to work on anybody.patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215123741467950471.post-51008231945304594932009-02-07T13:09:00.000+01:002009-02-07T13:09:00.000+01:00I think the stripes magnify the dropped shoulders ...I think the stripes magnify the dropped shoulders too.

I would have to agree with you about dropped shoulders and narrow shoulders. I stopped wearing them awhile ago when I realized they just don't flatter my very narrow shoulders. As the cliche goes, live and learn. I like the stripes though, and the horizontal band is a nice touch. On to the next project.
