Trend-Plate: The Grecian Effect

I know I have said this like a gazillion times before but I have no choice but to herald it again - "Drapes are back in fashion ladies!"

Like jumpsuits and leggings, it is impossible to omit finely draped pieces from your autumn/winter or even the spring/summer wardrobes. Even the recent pre-fall collections were imbued with heavenly drapes with asymmetrical silhouettes such as the omnipresent goddess dresses (think Vionnet)and some pleats.

And if you are searching for the must have drape pieces,either for your daily style consumption or just to fill in the gap between your other autumn/winter pieces, then take a look at the selection of goddessy drapes that I have chosen for you.
