Words to take to your supplier
Draped off-shoulder column dress An ivory column dress has soft draping across an off-shoulder neckline. What I want to borrow: A straight skirt keeps the outline narrow while draping adds movement at the waist and shoulders. Adaptation to discuss: Try lifting your arms to your natural hugging height. Consider a sleeveless column with a removable wrap if you prefer more movement. Questions for our supplier: • Which adjustments affect shoulder movement and which change the drape? Scope to confirm: Draped off-shoulder column dress Responsible people: Wearer and the fitter or outfit supplier Before confirming: Which adjustments affect shoulder movement and which change the drape? Working example (replace with actuals): Try lifting your arms to your natural hugging height. Consider a sleeveless column with a removable wrap if you prefer more movement.
