How does Vertical negate lower curve?

We know Soft Dramatics primarily accommodate for curve & vertical.

But did you know that the curve they accommodate for is upper curve?

In my blog about curve & double curve, I briefly mentioned that vertical negates lower curve.

So at this point you might be wondering how vertical negates the need for lower curve accommodation, right?

Let’s talk about it!

You already know Adele is my go-to example for soft dramatics, so let’s look at a few pictures.

Soft Dramatics like Adele need to primarily accommodate for upper curve & vertical. Accommodating upper curve means keeping silhouettes/clothing lines lightweight and close cut around your bust area. Accommodating vertical means keeping long lines in your clothing.

This is Adele in a dress that accommodates upper and lower curve, but not vertical. The dress is close to her body and sits closely around her hip and bust area.

Butttt, it does not have long lines because it is a short dress.

On the other hand, this is a dress that does not accommodate lower curve – only upper curve and vertical. The bottom of the dress does not accentuate her hip area because it is cut to fall straight up and down.

But she looks amazing in this dress – arguably even better than the short black one.

This is because her strong vertical line (a characteristic associated with soft dramatics) negates the need to accommodate for lower curve. She can get away with just maintaining vertical accommodation.

It is important to remember that these rules are not absolute law. Soft Dramatics don’t need to accommodate for lower curve but it does not mean they cannot accommodate for lower curve.

This is Adele in a dress that accommodates upper curve, lower curve, and vertical. And OH MY GOD she looks amazing. Soft Dramatics can absolutely wear clothing that accommodates all three, but they primarily need to accommodate for upper curve and vertical.

Seeing subtle nuances about upper curve, lower curve, and vertical accommodations can be hard, right?

Explanations are one thing, but in my opinion, seeing it all laid out is the most helpful.
