Transforming your wardrobe is easy if you know how to do it.
Early in my sewing career I had a choir ask for 50 dresses to be designed and sewn for them for a special event they were presenting. I did all of the measurements, pattern making and sewing. When I attended the event I noticed some of the ladies looked great and some not so great.
Since I had done all of the work on creating these garments I immediately went to work to discover what caused the difference in the results I saw. I found that even with the clothing in my personal wardrobe that there were some garments that looked great and some not so great.
The thing that kept influencing the result of the over all look was clothing placement. With years of training in anatomy, the bone structure became important in understanding how each person is put together and the influence that has on the way clothing looks.
Since each clothing designer chooses the height, size and shape of the person they like to design for, many garments could look better with just a little tweaking. That is why alterations often need to be made for the garments you are purchasing or gifts you are given to add to your wardrobe. It is not your body, it is the way the clothing is fitting your body. Remember we are clothing hangers, as the garments hang from our shoulders.
Change The Length The Garments In Your Wardrobe To Be In Your Personal Proportion
Like a diagram for a room and where to place furniture, each person needs to know where to place clothing on their body so it works for their proportion and bone structure.
Padding (or weight ) around your bones does not influence your vertical placement formula. A cool side effect of putting clothing in the right place for your proportion is that you can visually look like you weigh less.
I appreciate being able to take all the guesswork out of what to wear especially when making clothing purchases so that every garment in my wardrobe is a garment that really looks great with my personal proportions. Since your vertical proportions are based on your bone structure, they will remain the same throughout your life. It will be valuable for you to become aware of your head size, where your arms attach, where your waist is and the rest of the information about how you are put together in your proportions.
The result is you can save thousands of dollars by transforming your current wardrobe and when making new clothing purchases that will flatter you every time.
