Wowee! This is one hot little number. Then again, “Before” shots in The Anthology’s Before and After column always are.
This bright, colourful blouse has big, bold shoulder pads, leading me to believe it’s from the ’80s. But the shoulder pads really aren’t what’s making this blouse so ridiculous. It’s the shapelessness. It’s meant to fit a size small and yet there’s so much extra fabric I could fit another person in there.
It might even be worse from the back — a giant square so big it looks like an oversized jacket.
I’m making some tweaks to this piece so it will be wearable, perhaps even stylish. Stay tuned for the “After” shot! (Imagine if I presented these as “After” photos. Would you guys be polite and say you liked it? Or would you tell me how you really feel?)
P.S. Add The Anthology on Facebook and you’ll be the first to see the transformation!
