Is it just a number?

Going into the fitting room to try on clothes can be frustrating and sometimes depressing (well maybe a lot depressing ;-) ) especially when the size we take into the fitting room doesn’t fit. It wouldn’t be so bad if the garment was too big.  Problem is, it’s too small and we have to go out and look for a bigger size.  We try on the bigger size and we’re so caught up on the number of the tag that we forget to look at how good the garment looks on us.  If we can just forget the number on the tag and look at the reflection in the mirror, we might actually like what we see.

Truth is, not everyone can be a Size 8 or Size 10 or as some call it, a Size Zero.  But we can all learn how to dress the size we are, emphasizing our good bits and downplaying or disguising our not-so-good bits and dressing in the colors that suit us and lift our spirits.


The DRESS ON SHOW today is vintage-inspired.  It celebrates and is made in Size 18.  Clever use of the same fabric throughout with unbroken lines, create a slimming effect.  With the right shoes and accessories you’ll be a knockout at your function or event.

Line in clothing design is important and can fool the eye into thinking a person is thinner or fatter than he or she actually is.




Look at Rectangles A, B and C.  Which appears wider?

A appears wider but in fact all are the same width.  The 
vertical lines in B and C make the rectangles appear 
thinner.  So too do cleverly sewn garments which make the
wearer seem thinner.   Omitting lines can add bulk to 
thinner body types to create better balance.

So next time when you buy a garment (or have something designed) pay particular 
attention to where the seams are and what effect they have on your overall appearance.
