Howdy, Dowdy!

There are aspects of this top that I like, and it could probably be cute with a little tweaking or on the right body type, but in these particular photos, it mostly looks kind of frumpy.

Maybe if it weren't so high-waisted... And if it didn't have that dark band in that precise spot...

Poor girl.  No wonder she looks reproachful in the bottom photo. 
"Why do you want me to look stodgy, Mrs. Fashion Designer?  Why?"
