Do you ever find yourself glamorized by a trendy dress on a rack, slimming denim on a mannequin or an itty-bitty bikini in a store window? Later, you find yourself in the dressing room, not quite measuring up. Stop torturing yourself. Even though everything won't look the same on your body as it does on the rack, you can still find a look that makes you feel just as glamorous by knowing what to look for.
The first rule of thumb when shopping should be try everything on. Every time I meet with a client, the dressing room becomes 'the place to be' for the day. It is a must. Of course, it helps when choosing pieces, to know your body shape and size. This is only a guide, however. Unfortunately every designer sizes things differently, so learning to embrace the dressing room will help you get the fabulous look you desire, faster.
Second, let the clothing really do the work, by understanding your body type. If you are not sure of what your body type is, contact a stylist or use an on-line resource. This small diamond of knowledge will assist you in choosing looks that flatter your body, and not the rack. Some stylists use the fruit method: pear, apple, banana, etc. Others use shapes: triangle, circle upside-down triangle, etc. Regardless of what method you choose, when you know what pieces work with your body type, you enable yourself to consistently pick the pieces that work for you.
Stylists and versatile clothing, for every body type, can be found at Silkwood. Walking by their window, you will indeed be glamorized by the distinctive, eye-catching looks. Once you walk through the door, you may utilize these tips to turn the look you love on the rack to the look that rocks on your body.
