Yes, didn't do cold shoulder and won't be doing dropped.....but only because that is not my 'finest' area!   LOL

 

I like it on others, but not for me.

 

 

Edited, maybe I misunderstood....I thought you meant dropped shoulder like this

 


I thought that's the kind of drop shoulder being referred to as well.

I need two sturdy bra straps firmly in place and pulling their weight.  Slipping them off shoulder won't do the job.  Neither will a strapless.


@Kachina624 ,

DITTO!

I think some are misunderstanding.  Dropped shoulder doesn't mean OFF the shoulder with your bare shoulder exposed.

 

Marla Wynne does a lot of dropped shoulders (seams that are relaxed and not the rigid line across the top part of your shoulder where it meets your arm).

 

I love them.  I don't care for OFF the shoulder at all but I do love raglan style.

I have never worn anything drop shoulder--or shark bite or cold shoulder---not a fan.

I like them on other people but not on myself.

Re: Anyone else passing on drop shoulder tops?

I've never worn off the shoulder tops, even in my younger days. I own a couple of raglan sleeve dropped shoulder casual tops and sweaters, but it's not my preferred style. 

 

I really don't like blouses and shirts with dropped shoulder seams. I know that's been popular recently with oversized looks trending. I'm thrilled that tailored pieces are trending this year. Hoping to add a few new items to my wardrobe since that's my preferred style of clothing.

LOL I remember that look - years ago!  Flash Dance indeed.  Not a style that I would purchase for myself now. I prefer regular necklines. I have a couple of cowl neck sweaters I bought and wish I hadn't because for me they are just a pain.

Would drive me crazy if the sleeve of my top kept falling off my shoulder,

Re: Anyone else passing on drop shoulder tops?

Dropped shoulder is not off-the-shoulder.  I love dropped shoulder for casual clothing because I have broad shoulders and often set in sleeves are in things too tight to be really comfortable.
