apologies for dredging up a months old post but I'm very curious if anyone is aware of other designers that use silhouettes like this. contrary to popular opinion apparently, I think the waist and shoulders here are extremely flattering

might be able to find in some older fashion brand (when it was very popular), though to do it highly sculptured but still functional moveable is the harder part

I believe MB started at Chittleborough and Morgan, they have a rather dramatic style as well. I could be wrong, but I believe Chittleborough and Morgan's lineage goes back to Edward Sexton, so it might be worth checking them out as well.

If you're in the US and ok to spend that level of money just go with MB. CM doesn't travel to US anymore, ES is dramatic in a different way than MB

None of the 3 are cheap in general..., actually in general I don't know any good structure guys who are relatively cheap
