Crescendo Apparel designs clothes for women with “small waists and full hips.” The collection seems to emphasize a-line skirts/dresses with cinched or belted waists…which is pretty universally flattering. I appreciate the targeted nature of these designs, and even though I’m not a pear-shape, I know these dresses would work for me as well. Here is a video I took of the show and a few still shots. What do you think? Could you rock these fashions?

This was my favorite dress…it’s unexpectedly futuristic with the non-traditional portrait collar.

The founder of Crescendo Apparel, Kathryn McKetchnie, takes a bow.
