It was all about draping and layers at the Fall 2009 fashion show. I personally love ruched garments because it brings incredible drama to an ensemble.

My favorite collections were Balenciaga and Lanvin whom are the kings of draping fabulous garments. The key to making this work is to make sure to keep it simple with the other pieces you are wearing or else you will look like a hot mess curtain!

Draping is a perfect way to hide any imperfections. Curvy women this is your season to drape away. If you are petite, please keep it to a minimal so it won't be too overwhelming. I know it's still Summer but Fall is my favourite season and I can't wait to rock my fabulous ruche pieces!
