Draped Tops That Flatter

I've always loved draping as far back as when the talented designer Norma Kamali (1980's) came out with her fantastically draped bathing suits reminiscent of fifties pinup girls. Her beautiful suits that you could equally wear as clothing were so expertly draped they just made your figure look the best it could look, adding curves where you wanted then taking inches away where you didn't want them!

What every fashionable women is looking for, and so hard to find these days! 

Most clothing we see in department and multi branded stores is made overseas and mostly in China where quality and craftsmanship are not important, seemingly. What a shame.

Draping is very fashionable at the moment and seems to come and go pretty frequently so a quality draped top you buy now will come and go with the trends for at least a decade or more, so buy one now but be wise and choose a draped top that has been made with a quality fabric and draping that isn't too trendy. Some designers I think do great draping with quality are mind you not inexpensive but will last you season after season are, Donna Karen, Phillip Lim, Lanvin, Rick Owens, and Kaufmanfranco, if you can afford them they are worth it, if not I've included some mid priced brands that do a good job but if you need to hide anything at all you will need to wear some form of shape wear (aka girdle) with these tops since the fabric is not as forgiving as the big ticket designers.
