If you've enjoyed all the exciting information you read hear about Fashion Fix,you'll love everything else you find at DesignerFashionHQ
Your fashion goal may be to look chic. But if when you look in the mirror, you more closely resemble a sack of potatoes than a fashion model, you’re in need of a fashion fix.
It’s a misnomer that you have to be stick-thin or six feet tall to look good. Anyone of any size can look great in clothing if they are dressing for their body type, select figure-flattering pieces and ensure that every piece fits their body correctly.
To start fixing your fashion mistakes, first assess your body type. One of the biggest mistakes women make in fashion is not playing to their strengths. Whether you’re an hourglass, have lovely, broad shoulders or enviable narrow hips, even a fabulous designer piece can make you look like you’re wearing a shapeless bag if it isn’t cut right for your body type.
Consult websites and fashion magazines to become familiar with looks that accentuate your shape. Then, start shopping with those looks in mind.
Next, take a critical eye to your existing wardrobe. What pieces do you have that look great, are in good shape, and fit you well? Which pieces are too big, too small or shapeless? Sort everything into two piles–the clothes that flatter and the ones that don’t.
The “Don’t Flatter” pile should be further assessed for quality pieces that can be altered to fit you correctly. The rest should be tossed to make room in your closet for clothes that work!
The final step is to find a good seamstress or tailor. Solicit recommendations from friends or check out websites with reviews of tailors or shops in your area who do quality work and charge appropriately. This service will become an invaluable resource to you, not only in helping you look your best in your existing clothing but also in adding value to your future fashion investments.
