Are you dressing correctly for your bodyshape?

Once a client comes to see me about which colours suit them best, they usually book themselves in for a style consultation too.  This helps them to understand which styles are best for their bodyshape, whether they are a size 6 or 26.

For example, if a client wears a belt too high or too low she can look out of proportion.  If she is curvy, stiff fabrics may make her look a size larger.  If she is petite, ankle straps may make her look shorter.  Lisa, below, demonstrates the 'what not to wear' look for a curvy petite:


If Lisa understood how to dress for her bodyshape then she could easily look slimmer & taller.  Wearing a fluid jersey fabric to flatter her curves, an all-over print to camouflage areas of concern, a deep waistband to balance her torso and open-front, pointed-toe shoes give Lisa the illusion of a slimmer body and longer legs.  See the difference for yourself:



If your clothes aren't making you feel 10 out of 10 everytime you wear them, book in for a 2 hour consultation for £90 to fix it!  Think of the money you'll save - no more clothes hanging in your wardrobe that never get worn...
