Ideal Bottoms

Pants that are slightly flared, wide leg or boot cut

Stretch denim, higher rise and a fitted waistline

Pencil skirts (remembering that if you’re a little on the shorter side wear ¾ length dresses or just below the knee with a slit to make you look taller.)

A-lines are another skirt great for you hourglasses. As long as they are fitted around the waist and hips and don’t flare out

Ideal Tops

Think "classic body" = "classic cuts" teamed with trendy accessories. 

IDEAL TOPS: 

Halter (racer)

square necks

V necks

Strapless

wrap tops

When looking at fabrics aim to buy sheer, soft, clingy fabrics and avoid stiff bulky fabrics and design as they will not be figure hugging. The vertical striped tops can be a good way of elongating your body especially if the garment is fitted or gathered in, this will give the effect of drawing the stripes into your narrow waist area.

Are you Curvy?

If you are like me, you are curvaceous and understand the difficulties in dressing your body. You also know you look great if you get it right and frumpy if you get it wrong. I have dedicated this blog to all the "hourglass" figures out there. I will be experimenting with patterns, materials, styles accessories etc to enhance your womanly figure.





The main traits of your Hourglass shaped body are:

* Bust and hips nearly the same size.
* Well defined waist - 9" or more smaller than bust
* Full Bust
* Shapely Legs

New lifestyle = New hair do

I have recently started a new life, and I mean that literally. I sold all my possessions, quit my job and attempted to move to BC. Well folks, I am back in Toronto; I didn't last, plus my ex flew to BC to "come and get me" and we are currently rebuilding our relationship. I really care about him, and appreciate the effort he took. Starting a new life is not rosy, quite stressful in-fact. I am currently living out of 2 suitcases (which is all I own) at my friends house. I am working hard at finding freelance work in the video world, and basically re-building my life from the ground up. I found an apartment and I will be moving in on the 1st of October - super stoked. However, I only have a mattress; it will be pretty empty. It will be a fun project to decorate my place slowly with new things - I will be sure to post pics! With that being said, I decided to get a new look for my new life. I went blonde today - check it out and let me know what you think!
