Plucked from the ages, dramatic panniers, voluminious hip bustles, chicly sculpted hip panels and plunging Basque waists have been reinvented for the modern woman. Accentuating the female form with a play on proportions for an avant-garde appeal, voluminous hips are often paired with a snatched corseted bust for an ultra-femme look. Our tip, if you don't want to get lost in the volume, opt for a high-low skirt to reveal a bit of leg and break up the mass of fabric.
