Lesson # 6 - The Fine Print on Print

 

Size Matters

The larger the person, the larger the scale of the print should be. The reverse is also true.

The Base Line

Patterns with a darker background are always more slimming.

Block It Out

Shave off inches with color blocking that uses vertical panels along the sides of the body. If you, like many of us, are uneven; darker colors where you are bigger and lighter colors where you are smaller will be the most flattering color blocking choices for you!

Linear Thinking

Verticle stripes are always flattering, while horizontal stripes can be tricky. But a dark top with thin, colorful lines about an inch apart, is a safe bet for almost anyone.

Style and Color are Key
Curvy patterns will pick up the curves in your Body, Hair, and Skin, Angular patterns will pick up the angles and lines.  The same goes for Color and Contrast.
Choose patterns that compliment your natural beauty.
