Lesson #4 - Diagonal Lines Make It All Better

Ever wonder why every woman has at least one wrap dress in her wardrobe that seems to come out when ever everything else "makes her look fat"?

 

Thank diagonals and their slimming—and curve-creating—superpowers!

The area where you place that downward-sloping angle is going to appear narrower.

 

The secret: The eye wants to folllow lines, so diagnol lines create the illusion of an hourglass shape.

 

These lines can also be found in design details like bias-cut seams, well placed chevron prints, asymmetrical necklines and hemlines, diagnol color blocking and many other clever forms of slanted lines.

 

So next time you are having one of "those days"...look for a garment that has a strategically placed diagnol line that cuts accross that problem area!
