Well people tend to wear those baggy tops with skinny trousers, so they've got shape on one part, and looseness on the other. Plus, when its with skinny jeans, you know the body under the big ol' sleeves is a size 6 anyway. What's an American size 6? A 2 or something? Must go check...
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
However, most of the 80s revivial seems intent on bringing back the less-than-flattering bits of 80s fashion.
Yes, this.
I mean, it's better than the muffin-top look by YARDS, but holy hell, can we just have clothing that flatters real women, be it tight or loose? Why is that so much to ask?

Good luck, Sparky!
Boston someplace, to be exact.
Oh, yay! Does this mean we will get to meet you???
I'm not sure if there's a Boston mailing list like there is for other large urban areas with Buffistas, but if you want to find out which Buffistas live in the area and how to get on the list I'd check with vw bug.
Exactly! And here I am.
I’m home from the big meeting. It went very, very well. I’m encouraged, yet pessimistic. If nothing else, I’ve been validated that I’ve legally been treated wrongly. And, I’ve written a very big check to the nice lawyer man to retain his services to stick it to the man.

I mean, the 80s took 40s & 50s fashion to all sorts of weird extremes, which I got, with it being such a period of uncertainty, but now it just feels incredibly reflexive. Like that dress you linked to, Aimee - it looks more vintage-inspired, except for the fabric.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
As soon as those come back, I'm stocking up.
No kidding.

I keep waiting for the return of the stretchy dresses that were fitted through the bust and waist, but had full knee-length skirts. As soon as those come back, I'm stocking up.
There will be a STAMPEDE of Goths on that day.

Yes. Which is what I really love.
My love of the 80's fashion is probably some childhood issue born of parents not having the money to let keep up with my peers. Blah blah blah.
