DRESS FOR YOU!!!


Dress for your body type! just because it's trendy doesn't mean it will look good on you!
I see too many women that are wearing popular clothes that are cute clothes but looks awful on them because they don't know how to dress for their shape. there is an easy way to solve this and I will help.

First you need to figure out what your body type is, its easier then it sounds. all you have to do is take three measurements, your bust, waist and hips. I will explain the best way to measure your self. of course it's not as accurate as someone doing the measuring for you but it works for this purpose.
To Measure your bust
Place the measuring tape around your bust, make sure that it is wrapping around the largest part of your chest, normally the middle where your nipples are.
To Measure your waist
Let the tape fall into the natural curve of your waist, above your belly-button and under your chest.
To Measure your hips
Put the tape around your hip bones and make sure it wraps around the largest part of your butt.

After you've taken your measurements determine what your shape is.
Triangle, or pear shape- If your hips are more then 2 inches larger then your bust
Inverted Triangle- If your bust is more then 2 inches larger then your hips
Rectangle- If your bust, waist and hips are all with-in an inch of each other
Ideal- If your hips are with-in an inch of each other and your waist is at least 10 inches smaller
Hourglass- If your bust and hips are with-in an inch of each other and your waist is at least 12 inches smaller.

Now after you've figured out what body type you are learn what areas you need to hide or accentuate. it's very simple larger areas you need to hide and smaller areas you need to make them look bigger, to achieve the hourglass shape all women want.

I didn't go too in depth but if anyone wants help finding what would look best on you feel free to let me know :)

Until next time

One of my Favorites :)


Christian Dior
Dior got his start in 1947 with "the new look"
He became world famous. In the beginning of his career some women didn't approve of his look on femininity. During a photo shoot the models were attacked to protest this new fashion trend. Once more conservative women got use to "the new look" his career sky rocketed. With him on his journey to fashion stardom he took young Yev Saint Laurent, Who started his career at 21.
Dior is one of my favorites because he brought femininity back after a time of terror, he gave women exactly what they needed to feel like women again. I also love Dior because he brought about the silhouette that made pin-up girls and the rockabilly style that I love so much famous. He was a brilliant and creative man, he was deffinantly one of the fashion greats.
