I LOVE everything about Christmas the music, the lights, the decorations, the desserts But one of my favorite things about Christmas ever since I was a little girl has been dressing up in holiday outfits
His debut collection ushered in the concept of separates tops and bottoms that could be mixed and matched, as opposed to head-to-toe looks that were the norm among Paris couture purveyors
Details shouldnt be an afterthought when working on your weekend wear
The dressing may separate as it sits
Keep the clothing line straight to slightly fitted but fabric soft so you avoid unnecessary bulk around the bust, waist and tummy Keep details above the bustline and below the hipline - for everything in between keep it plain and simple Details on the hemline bring attention to the legs Keep your silhouette fitted under the bust, below your arms, and along your waist Wear structured garments, as they hold in and camouflage extra weight Wear bright colours on your lower body Avoid excessive fabric around the midsection Define the waist Clothes that make the mid-section narrower help achieve a more proportional body shape
