Use Line Illusions – There are four types of line vertical,
horizontal, diagonal and curved. Each type of line creates a
different kind of illusions. Vertical lines create a slimming
elongated illusion. Use verticals on areas of your body you want
to look thinner or longer. Horizontal lines create a wide shorten
illusion. Use horizontal lines on areas of your body that you
want to enlarge or shorten. Diagonal lines divert the eye away
from the area it is used on. Use diagonal lines on areas of your
body you want to conceal and camouflage. Curve lines create the
illusion of rounded curves. Use curve lines on areas of the body
you want to lift or look curvaceous. Line illusion is one the
most effective techniques you can use to reshape and transform
your figure.
Employ The Power Of Color – Color can be used 3 ways to transform
your figure. One by applying light colors to areas of your body
you want to accentuate or enlarge and dark colors on the areas
of your body you want to conceal or make look smaller. Two dress
monochrome (all in one color) which will make your appear slimmer
and taller. Three use color to create flattering lines.
Utilize The Effects Of Fabric – When selecting fabrics to transform
your figure you have to take into consideration the weight and
texture of the fabric and if the fabric has a print. Medium to
lightweight soft non-cling fabric with a smooth matte texture
will slim the area of the body they are worn over. Heavy bulky
or stiff fabric with shiny or ruff texture will add weight and
fullness to the areas of the body they are worn over. |
