    Dropped Waists

    Popularized in the 1920s as a rebellion against traditional corsets, the drop waist trend is making a modern comeback. This silhouette, once a symbol of women's search for equality and liberation, continues to champion freedom of movement and ease. Drop into style with tailored shifts and tunics. Feeling low? Try a dropped waist skirt or a jumpsuit without sacrificing style or comfort!!
