Romantic vs Natural and “Flow”
I made a previous post on this but have since emailed John and asked him to explain the difference between relaxation for Natural and flow and drape recommended for Romantics. In case anyone is interested, this was his response. To me it seems the main difference is fabric and cut (drape, wrap and gathering vs straighter).
“Fabric textures are the main difference. Ultra smooth knits, refined and luxurious (silks and velvets) textures for Romantic, and cottons and linens for Natural. Natural can also share knits with Romantic. Natural has a relaxed line and has a less-fitted silhouette whereas Romantic will add in drape, wrap, and gather within a more body-fitting silhouette.”
Looking at my jumpsuit in my prior post, I think because it had wrap drape and gathering (and was fitted in certain places) in a smooth lightweight fabric that’s what made it R and not N.
