Style Advise for all Body Types #3

Lesson # 3 - Structure Is Forgiving

Think of tailored garments (pieces with seams, peplums, structured shoulders, waistlines) as your body shapers.

 

If you pour a pitcher of water into a bag with no structure it is shapeless, but if you pour that water into a vase, it takes on the sexy shape of that vase.

 

So clothe your body in pieces that have the shape you desire already:

Try a sharp-shouldered blazer to make your waist look smaller or a fit-and-flare peplum silhouette to manufacture va-va-voom hips. Seams down the sides give yor midsection structure, while darts and pleats on a pant or skirt can creat a flattering shape for your back view!

 

Darts and seaming can provide definition wherever you need it.
