First of all, thank you for the birthday wishes! We enjoyed our trip to Paris and my darling photographer husband took a lot of pictures. Alas, none of them show my new dresses because they are all covered up with the long cape that kept me warm the whole time. Oh well. When our schedules allow, we'll do some dress pictures.
And now, is it my imagination or are we suddenly seeing a proliferation of softer, rounded shoulders? This is what I'm talking about:
A small selection of recent Vogue and Butterick patterns
My recent projects have this type of shoulder. The 1950's dress has a kimono sleeve, the yet-to-be-photographed wool jersey dresses have dolman sleeves. I love the way these look on me. They make my square shoulders appear much less square (if you don't agree, please do not burst my bubble).
So, have they been around all along or are there really more of them now?

I've been noticing a softer trend in general too. I didn't think your shoulders looked square. I usually don't recognize square shoulders, but do recognize sloping shoulders. Don't a lot of models have square shoulders? You have a terrific figure so all you see is the total picture, not any fitting issues for sure.
I think it is one more throwback to the 60s retro look that has been prevalent lately!
Glad you had a good time in Paris!
