...choosing the right design lines for your personal body shape is what I'm talking about. I get asked so frequently to offer information on what styles look best on any given body shape. As all of you know who read this blog, Sure-Fit Designs is all about getting the best fit possible for your unique body shape and that's very definitely achievable when using SFD. Now, once you get your fit all worked out, which so many of you have accomplished in spades, what style of garment to sew that is most flattering to your figure is a whole other topic. I'd love to be able to wear yet another 'business hat' so that I could offer you that information, but alas, there are simply not enough hours in my day.
Enter in Inside out Style blog...Easy Style Solutions for Every Woman, by Imogen Lamport (from Australia).
Imogen does a fantastic job of helping you to identify your body shape. Whereas I often refer to body shapes as 'heart', 'diamond', 'rectangular', Imogen uses the letters of the alphabet, like A, H, I, O, V, & X. And when you think about this, it makes sense. Click on Body Shapes Explained.
Imogen offers information on just about every body part you can imagine - arms, shoulders, legs, hips and bottom, bust line, as well as for plus size, petites and generally creating an overall look for visually slimming.
Imogene writes about a wide variety of topics relating to style, body image, body shape, face shapes etc. This blog is a wealth of information.
One of her recent blogs was on self-image and aging. As I look in the mirror everyday and see a few more wrinkles and a little more of my scalp (yikes!), I have to remind myself that fortunately I'm above ground and still able to see these things. And, hopefully, a little wiser too. She's recently offered a short blog Don't Age, Evolve!
And on the topic of measuring, as you who are using Sure-Fit Designs know, when you measure, you're measuring your body so that you can apply those measurements to the SFD master patterns to achieve your best fit. Imogene, on the other hand, shows how to measure to see what your body proportions are. Your proportions from top to bottom are going to influence the style you choose for the most flattering effect. See this short video -
For those of you looking to find information on what style best suits you, make sure you spend some time poking around the InsideOutStyle blog.
Thanks Imogene for sharing your wealth of knowledge and information.
Kindly,
Glenda...the Good Stitch!
