| Fabrics |
 |
You are your own canvas! Be creative with seam lines and fabrics, creating contours and adding curves where you desire them. |
|
Experiment with interesting prints, textures and fashion details that emphasize the hip, bust and shoulder areas. |
|
| Necklines |
|
Round, high, low V, U and scoop
necklines flatter your figure. |
|
| Pants |
|
Bootleg trousers balance the
shoulders. Be sure they're long. |
|
Straight-leg trousers with wide
waistbands and pressed-down pleats,
or loose-fitting wide-legged hipsters
add curves and interest. |
|
|
| Jackets & Tops |
|
Princess seams are lovely on you. Be sure
they curve out from the armhole rather than
down from the shoulder. |
|
Snug, fitted jackets with wide lapels and a
subtle flare at the hem add a pizzazz you
handle well. |
|
The upper and lower pockets of a tailored
jacket create a wonderful shape. |
|
Tailored long jackets with a solid lighter-
colored coordinating blouse and trousers
offer simple polished style. |
|
Tops a tone lighter than bottoms, or patterns
add dimension and curve. |
|
| Skirts & Dresses |
|
Subtle A-line and pleated (un-sewn) skirts
that fall to the calf are highly attractive. |
|
Dropped-yoke gathered skirts add interest,
balance and proportion. |
|
Try a drop-waist look over narrow cut pants
with tall boots for a dash of style. |
|
A shirtdress with breast pockets on top and
inverted pleats descending from the waistline
create balance top to bottom. |
|
| Trims & Details |
|
Pockets on top and bottom help define a
waistline by breaking the torso into three
different areas. |
|
Indulge in fun details and embellishments
on your hips and chest. |
