I need ideas for sophisticated glamourous outfits for a boyish figure?
7 Answers
I have a boyish, tall athletic figure with not very many curves - I'm sporty, so most of the time I'm in trainers and combat trousers. When I go to a smart event or out on the town I tend to opt for girlish clothes: lots of frills and ruffles, prints and polka dots, short skirts (like Zooey Deschanel's kind of style)- because they make my figure look more feminine. I also can't wear high heels (back problem)so usually go for cute little flats.
My boyfriend recently hinted that he likes more grown up, sophisticated clothes and perhaps finds my style a little childish (the way he said it sounded nicer than that though!) - but I kind of think those femme fatale Jessica Rabbit dresses etc only really look good on curvy women and would just make me look like a drag queen. Does anyone have any ideas on how to dress sophisticated and sexy when you're more sports woman than sex kitten?!
I did try wearing a bodycon dress with a belt around the waist because I was told it would give the illusion of curves, but it just made me look like a string of sausages to be honest!

How about something more draped and grecian looking ? Try googling images of someone famous who has a similat figure to you (Charlize Theron ?) and seeing what they wear on the red carpet and then try and emmulate that. Alternativel y, if you are near a big department store they will often offer a personal shopper to guide you. Good luck :)

You need something with some detailing around the hips/waist area. Something similar to this would work:

Team it with a pair of kitten heels.

Well you've worked hard asking this on several sites- I hope you get some answers. Are you the ripleyharker from the Guardian?

if indeed you are posting hither and yon about fashion, you are way out of your depth. The figure you describe is a couture ideal, so any classic cut of column. sheath or LBD would be what you would naturally choose.
However, I'm sure someone will come along and post a link to the site you need to buy from.
