Client’s wanted look
You like to look alternative yet classy. Bohemian style is usually opted for but when looking through your wardrobe I can see that the style pieces are very varied, no real theme, only pieces that you have once liked and maybe moved on from very quickly. We will look at using these pieces to create a great look for you once again.
Body shape Analysis
We had discussed the different types of body shapes and after comparing your shape with other body types we were certain that you have an hour glass figure.
Hourglass: Your bust and hip measurement will be the largest, and your waist measurement will be quite small. An “hourglass” will normally have a large bust, small waist, short waist, big hips and generous thighs.
With having an hourglass figure; your curvy shape will benefit from showing off your best assets and creating balance. Your style goal is to flatter your form without adding any unwanted bulk.
Tips for the types of clothing an hourglass should opt for:
· Wrap-around tops, dresses and garment with a cinched waist are great for you as they emphasise your naturally thin waist.
· Ensure that all belts and sashes around the waist are narrow, as your hourglass body will be overwhelmed by a wide belt.
· You will find items that come to a “V” are the most flattering neckline for you.
· Sleeves will add a little more shape across your shoulders.
· A deep V-neck fitted cardigan should be the cornerstone of every hourglass wardrobe.
· You should only wear mid-sized prints, as anything larger will overwhelm your hourglass shape.
· Look for a t-shirts that fit your waist, have a wide open neckline and have something to divert the eye to your shoulders - such as a puffed sleeves.
· Pocket flaps on the hips will emphasis your waist.
· A two button, deep V-neck jacket will give support to your bust, and help to elongate your waist.
· Three-quarter sleeves to show off your elegant wrists and work to suggest a more delicate frame.
· Skirts are a great way for you to flatter your form. Pencil skirts, knee length, straight skirts and high waisted skirts are all good options.
It’s great to be an hourglass because you have killer curves. Show them off with dresses and skirts which embrace femininity and seduction.
The types of clothing an hourglass should avoid:
As an hourglass you should avoid ruffles, bows, and lots of detail, especially around the chest area. Stay away from anything with excess fabric that will add bulk to your chest and hips.
