Volume in DRESSES & TOPS - Spring Summer 2008 Fashion Trends

Even straight dresses can have plenty of volume. A top trend this summer is for draped Grecian looks. Dresses with Grecian goddess draping, and volume gathers, are often straight in line, but the fabric is generous yet controlled. Look to the grace of global inspiration with sari asymmetric style draped dresses, tunics or one shoulder Grecian gowns. One shoulder toga looks have even reached swim suits. The focus is on the neckline so don't clutter that gorgeous collar bone with neck jewellery, but do add important earrings and bangles or cuffs along the arm. A short sharp bob hair style or an updo will create a clearer view of the nape of the neckline and the statement making shoulder line than long hair extensions might.
Whilst these dress and top examples are sleeveless, it is worth observing how many tops and dresses have puff fullness and ruffles that increase sleeve/shoulder volume substantially. Credit to : fashion-era.com
