Something else I am going to try with a Verily top I have that is very baggy is to gather it to one side and put an elastic band around a bunch of material to create a little more shape
Hi, Imogen. I am a sewer ,&, have found that if I change a hemline on a long loose top to diagonal rather than having it as horizontal , it is flattering, &, if it’s lightweight, still very cool to wear! Love your suggestions!
For those of us with an 8 shape, is the half-tuck recommended? I like that it gives more of a hint of waist, but it is nowhere near as high up as my narrowest point falls, if that makes sense…?

I agree – I’ve been doing a range of sloping, diagonal or curved bottoms on my sewn tops – they look good.

your are better with the full tuck to show off your fabulous waist!
Imogen, I guess tugging is nothing for O-shapes, isn’t it?
The tuck or half-tuck are not great for the O shape sadly – generally just stay away from tucking!
