Draping was a huge trend this SS 2008 and you’re going to see more of it for Fall 2008. Toga inspired dresses and goddess-like blouses will be dressing the runways in their best forms.

Done correctly, draping and intricate pleating is always flattering. I’ve alway been a huge fan of the free flowing silhouette. Montreal designer Denise Gagnon’s collection has some great examples of this technique.

The dress photoed here hangs perfectly on the shoulders with a demi- sweetheart bust and draped ever so perfectly, showing the detail of the second layer underneath.

Who says sexy has to be tight and clingy, not in my books!
