Melissa's too-long skirt, too-long sleeves and boxy shirt all dragged her look downward and the drab colors drained her. The crisp contrast and shaped lines of the new pantsuit balance her color pattern and emphasize her shapely, youthful figure. At work the next day, even her good friends walked right past and didn't recognize her.
Between the badly-fitted pants, the unstructured shoulderline of the sweater and the unflattering colors, Amy wasn't doing justice to her natural beauty. The new chocolate pantsuit and blush-pink shell make her skin glow. Professional tailoring narrowed the pant legs and jacket sleeves for a much more flattering fit. She was so excited to show her husband her new look. that she could barely wait for us to take her "after" photo.
Christine has gorgeous warm coloring, a great head of hair and a willowy figure, but her basic black "uniform" didn't showcase her assets. The print skirt - which was already in her wardrobe - repeats her hair and eye colors for automatic flattery. But she had nothing but black to wear with it. We found the camel suede jacket , which adds richness and echoes her hair highlights. Repeating the dark brown of the sweater in the tall boots completes the coordination.
Donna's dominant upper body looks top-heavy in a white double-breasted jacket. The jacket's shaped fit makes it look too tight, while the baggy, too-long sleeves add visual pounds. Changing to a straighter jacket style in a darker color minimizes her top proportions, and the print skirt fills out her lower body to create a balanced look. Wearing the jacket open over a bright sweater creates a vertical line that further slims her figure. You can see the new confidence in her expression and her body language, can't you?
