Do you not read Audi at Fashion for Nerds? (http://geekthreads.blogspot.com/) She's on your blogroll... Audi puts together a fair number of outfits with a 20s feel, using more modern layering that's TOTALLY curve-friendly. (I spent most of high school dressing in actual 20s dresses or the 80s knockoffs of same, and I feel you on the unflatteringness of the drop waist to those with hips - being as wide as my widest point? Oh yes, sign me up!) Anyway, I like dress number 2 the best. Dress number one has a bit too much going on, and dress number 3 is classic hip-widening material. But dress number 2 is also ripe for some Audi-style layering with an above-the-knee princess-seamed dress or vest, which could keep a 20s feel while still rocking an hourglass. Hey!

I'd probably consider my wallet & the CPW (cost per wearing in the future) of the possibilities in my choice too.
