The next two Styles that form a pair are the Elaborate Romantic Style and the Refined Dramatic Style. Like all other Style pairs, they share the Lines of their Sleeves, their Pant legs and their Skirts. When all these Lines are cut the same, the people of this Style feel the most harmonious in their bodies and experience the greatest physical comfort.
On the Yin Yang Wheel of Style, Jourdan and Rosie's Styles are directly opposite each other. They are also opposite in Silhouette, because the Refined Dramatic is an Omega Silhouette where the clothing is not closely fitted to the body, whereas the Elaborate Romantic is an Alpha Silhouette with a relatively close fit.
Unusually, these two Styles wear Fabrics that differ only slightly in their Qualities (one wearsTexture, one wears Print), but they differ significantly in their Fabric Weights. The Elaborate Romantic can wear the lightest Weight of all Fabrics and the Refined Dramatic can wear Fabrics that are amongst the heaviest of all the Styles.
The two Styles have other differences, such as Necklines and Element of Style; but of course they also share Sleeve Lines, Pant Lines and Skirt Lines. Another important thing that they share is Mood of Style.
Mood of Style is connected to Planet of Style.
On the Yin Yang Wheel, there are seven different pairs of Lines, leading to a comparison with the Planets. The Planets bestow the Mood of the two Styles that are pairs. The Style Mood is a transforming influence in that it awakens the Style's magic like nothing else. All other aspects of Style are important and helpful but the Style Mood takes every Style to a new level. Sometimes a Style Mood is achieved with just the Sleeve, Pant or Skirt Lines, and sometimes something else is required in addition. Each Planetary influence is unique.
The Elaborate Romantic and the Refined Dramatic are influenced by Saturn. This Planet provides influences of warmth of heart, enhancement of sensory capacities, and enabling of soul capacities. The heightened impact in the outfits of the two Saturn-influenced Styles derives from something beyond their shared Lines, although the Lines are always necessary as well. What is also needed lies beyond Fabric, Line, Ornament, Styling and Accessories: what is necessary to awaken these two Styles into their full power is the use of monochromatic Color schemes.
The mood of Style for the Elaborate Romantic and Refined Dramatic is one of holding reverence for all knowledge: for both the simple aspects that are part of common sense and ordinary life; and for the complex insights and new wisdom that are there for us to unfold with each generation. By adding a unified Color to their extra-Long Curved Lines, these two Styles awaken their special and enchanting Strength and Power.
In Mood of Style, Style astrology is visible.
