I took inspiration from two prior outfits to create today’s ensemble.

Fake a Waist
As a short-waisted, small-busted gal, I’m a fan of the empire waist. However, I’ve found that a wide, fitted band below the bust (but above the natural waist) works best to elongate my frame without losing shape. This dress lacks definition below the bust, but I can add it with a wide belt.

Ahh, the wonders of belting!
OMG.... lovely colors.
I have tried to elongate my short self this way before but, I end up looking like I am pregnant...
L-O-V-E this outfit! I too, play up the bust and elongate the waist with a belt like this often. We small-busted gals need all the help we can get! :0)
Such a great outfit! Love the belt and the blue with the red- they look beautiful together!
hey kasmira, random question. i'm rehearsing for "oklahoma!" right now, and i need a good kiss-proof lipstick. what do you use for your plays? you always wear beautiful lipstick....
LOVE this outfit! Great mixing of neutrals with the vibrant colors.
anythingreen - for my last production, I wore Covergirl Outlast All-day Lipcolor in Ever Red-dy (#507). I was very happy with it. The stain is a liquid that you apply with a sponge-tipped wand and then, after that dries, you top it with a solid gloss (really just a stick of silicone, I think). It DOES NOT BUDGE! Be sure to exfoliate before applying, especially if you are using it multiple days in a row or times in one day. It does dry out your lips and repeated use without exfoliation will result in red "crumblies."
I also SWEAR by fake eyelashes on stage. They really make your eyes pop. You won't need any other eye makeup.
Buddy, you are freaking adorable! I like your hair, also. Probably my favorite of your lifetime. So jealous I can't see you at the family get together.
thanks so much!
Neat colour combination! I like it.
Oh no! Your pretty overhang fell down :(
On the upside, you look beautiful! I love this outfit combination.
I have the same dimensions as you! I too love a belt under the boobs, it is a miracle worker!
Still loving the blog :-)
I absolutely LOVE this outfit! The color combo is beautiful, and the brooch is the perfect finishing touch!
