I think what it does is approximate the outer lines of the silhouette and the outer lines of the face, with the added bonus of doing the vertical thing for height. :) Which then brings up another question: If the neckline can be shortened and widened (not on every figure type, but to balance the face), can it also be narrowed and lengthened? I suppose it could be, like in a collared button-up shirt; then we just have to trust everybody to have the good sense to wear something under. ;) Interesting thoughts. It's going to be interesting to see next week's fashion lab. I believe dcrmom is a tall V. I have a notion to do some of the looks on myself, just to contrast the figure types, too. We'll see.

I meant the one up in the corner on this page. BTW, have you seen the one with the brown frame? Right now they are toggling back and forth, the black and the brown. I think the black looks a little like a TV screen, so I kinda prefer the brown. Thanks for all your kind words and participation! :) Sorry, Dana. I meant the one up in the corner on this page.

I did this test, Rebecca, and the spot on my chest was EXACTLY the same both ways - total psycho-out. I now know you are the super-all-knowingist-fashion-blogger-of-all-time. And, btw, that "spot" is approx one inch below the top edge of my JNY cotton camisole with delicate lace trim.... peaking out of my 1/2 open button down shirt and ivory denim jacket combo. Not bad for not knowing the rules. One caveat to your "adapt shorter necklines by widening them" - speaking as that curvy girl: necklines that are too shallow and wide still make me look matronly or as if I could be the center on the football team. About 2 wks (?) ago, you gave us the tip for figuring out if the neckline on something would be too low w/o trying it on - I am so grateful. I love leaving stuff that won't work on the rack and saving dressing room time! look at my photo where?
