fit fit fit...

probably one of the most neglected aspects in dressing...the wearing of clothes that are either too big...or too small...and believe me...neither one is good...what is it about the size of a garment that has so many women squeezing into a size that is clearly not right for them?

i recently went shopping with a client...and while she "normally" wears a size 8...this one particular dress she tried on...in a size 8...did not flatter her...so i had her try on the size 10...and the dress flowed so beautifully on her body...she...however...was stuck on the size 10...

so we talked about it...in length...and the bottom line came to...would you rather be wearing a dress...that had a size 8 label...that didn't flatter you...or wear the same dress...in a size 10...that actually made you look like you were a size 6?

and then you have the mindset of...if i wear clothes that are bigger on me...and not close to my body...it will somehow hide my size...the problem with that...is that usually...bigger clothes make you look...well bigger...who wants that?  

fit is crucial...crucial...crucial...i have always told my clients...if the number on the label bothers you...cut it out...because ultimately...it is not the number on the inside label that no one sees...it is how that piece looks on you...
