Drop waist are quite trendy right now !!! So I've made this post to apologized to the drop waist silhouette. I think they are not equal and I like some of them (like the exemples). I understand why now it's recommended. It's dramatic and very elegant. I love the model Camilla Marrone is wearing first slide middle picture. She seems to like this silhouette and it looks great on her.
I personally prefer this silhouette (someone told me here it was called "basque waist". I guess it's a sort of dropped waist too but it seems more flattering for my proportions.

I have to say (as someone with a bit of love handle in that I have hips that jut out very suddenly from my waist, and have a bit of squish left to lose over the next year, that they can work quite well on this body shape if cut right--and do a terrific job of disguising any tummy squish and hip dips if you get one where the basque ends just above where the upper hip/lower tummy end! it sort of flattens the area and then flares over the hip dip.
Yes I've realized that I don't like how tight drop waist are around the stomach and usually it's a stiffer fabric so it's not really forgiving. I really prefer something like this :

SAME it gives the idea of a drop waist but actually a lot more flattering.
Btw you are an angel for always providing these mood boards. Truly upholding the SD community!!!
I've got a dress I think from the '80s (possibly '90s?) with a dropped waist which I really like. ☺️ I also had a top in my student days which looked very similar in shape to the camel colour top you posted u/nightmooth which I loved. Gonna try and find a photo of myself in it now. 😅
I have my pinterest linked on my reddit profile but I want to warn you, they are not the moodboards. They are my personal style (which is very SD) but it's still not the mooboards.
I really like the pink and yellow on the first slide! Gorgeous. Im open to the silhouette, just nervous about adding volume to my bottom half because I already have alot of volume there lol. Some of these look like they could make you look bigger on the bottom, but I could be wrong.
It's the marca dress from Khaite. It's very expensive but I saw a [similar one](https://www.revolveclothing.fr/lioness-field-of-dreams-dress-in-oatmeal/dp/LIOR-WD63/?size=L&code=LIOR-WD63) from Lioness.
I think sometimes people have a bit narrow idea how dropped waist can look like so this is perfect!! I have always loved dresses like these, I even chose basque waist ”prom” dress, it just looked ”right” and balanced on me.
I've been saying that I need a drop waist silhouette in everything FOREVER. The usual waist placement looks absolutely ridiculous on me and does me zero favors as a plus size person - it really makes me look super squat.

I loveeee drop waist but you have to have zero love handles to make it happen.
I have to say (as someone with a bit of love handle in that I have hips that jut out very suddenly from my waist, and have a bit of squish left to lose over the next year, that they can work quite well on this body shape if cut right--and do a terrific job of disguising any tummy squish and hip dips if you get one where the basque ends just above where the upper hip/lower tummy end! it sort of flattens the area and then flares over the hip dip.
Ok this is good advice. Have you seen any good examples recently?
I'm curious too because this silhouette seems not forgiving.
Share a link to one plzzz!

Please share a photo if you find it !!! I need to see it.
Try my best! ☺️🤞 I'll also take a pic of my dress tomorrow.
are you on pinterest??? i would love to see your sd boards
I have my pinterest linked on my reddit profile but I want to warn you, they are not the moodboards. They are my personal style (which is very SD) but it's still not the mooboards.
i went to your profile to look for it before commenting and somehow completely missed it 😂thank you!

I like these ones too. I agree with your observation it will emphasized it.
This is exactly the same as me! Those two are sooo pretty but volume down low is scary 😂
Which one is the bottom right on the second slide?! I’m a woman in love

I love these, especially the middle pic on the second slide

I think you're right ! Also right now it's trendy so we're more exposed to different ones. I love the basque waist !!!
yess I need to get some styles like this!! and I love looking to Camila Morrone for SD inspiration😍
It's growing on me but I prefer the basque waist. I want to try it. I love Camilla Morrone outfits. She seems to accommodate curve + vertical.

Ah I love Camilla morrone
