3 Tips to Looking Gorgeous in Any Dress Regardless of Body Size and Body Type

Have you ever seen a stunningly beautiful dress that your eyes popped from their sockets, and your mouth flew wide open with awe? Have you ever seen such a dress, whether on a mannequin or a person, in photos or right before your eyes, that you went right ahead to put it on the list of things you must have?

Here is why

Here is the thing about beautiful dresses/ clothes. It is the body/ platform on which you see them first.

• • How well the clothes/ dress fits the wearer?
  • How well the dress/ garment fits the mannequin?

Necessary Adjustments

I am pretty sure you have seen some dresses, shirts, trousers, etc pinned at the back of mannequins in order for them to fit it perfectly, hence look better.

Did you know that you can rock any dress/ garment, own it, and make it look (on you) as great as it did on the platform/ body on which you saw it?

Your Secret to go

The Secret is not to necessarily lose or gain weight every time you have a new dress or are eyeing a new dress/ clothes.

The Secret is to adjust the dress so that it fits you like a glove; not too tight and not too loose.

Allow me to illustrate:

If you saw my first post this month *I refuse to be intimated by mannequins* then you already know that my dilemma with clothes – readymade clothes at that – didn’t start yesterday. You, also, know that I came up with clothing solutions so that I dress as gorgeously as I desire.

What to do

These are the things I consider when buying any clothes.

• Is it the fabric/ material I want?
• Is it the colour that I want?

Top of my head, the above are the only things I consider when thinking about any garment. But only because I have learnt the art of making anything fit me by making the necessary adjustments.

So:

I am size ‘a’— ‘a’ being just a random number 🙂 – do not go looking for what size ‘a’ is. Hahaa ?.

*Height is ‘b’ Inches
*Bust is ‘c’ Inches
*Waist is ‘d ‘ Inches
*Tummy is ‘e’ Inches
*Hips =’f’ Inches
*Thighs = ‘g’ Inches – etc.

NOW…

As long as I know these measurements, let’s take the height for instance, I can buy dresses whose only fault is being too lengthy, and then I can shorten them to the appropriate length for my body size. Otherwise, I would be sweeping the streets with the flowing gowns or I would have to buy 15″ ? heels. I love heels but never Ever more than 3″.

And these (adjustments) goes for all other ready-made clothes/ dresses that wow me, but which have a fault or two that I can fix.

I hope you take home a tip or two and be on your way to making all garments fit your style.
