Dhamaal
give you a brief idea of what goes with each type
of body shape
Broad Shoulders
Wide necklines, short sleeves and light fabrics
help to visually reduce broad shoulders
Big
Bustline
Never wear V-necks and scoop necks as they emphasise
the chest size. High Necks, work well; combined
with full sleeves they work even better.
Small
Bustline
Empire Basques, V-Necks and bulkier fabrics create
an illusion of a fuller bustline.
Heavy
Arms
Always wear sleeves that are not fitted yet follow
the body line. Avoid heavy and thick fabrics.
Heavy
Hips
It is important not to wear fitted, short garments
that emphasise your hips. Instead wear moderately
loose and longer lengths in thicker fabrics to give
a longer and leaner look

Basic Tips on fashion
-
Using colour to balance your body is a great idea.
Wear light colours where you are small and dark
colours where larger. For example, if you have
large hips, wear dark skirts or pants and a light
coloured blouse.
-
Wearing set-in sleeves with shoulder pads will
help you to balance wide hips. The shoulder pads
will add to your shoulders therefore balancing
with your hips.
- Don't
choose clothes that are too tight. Clothes that
fit well will make you appear slimmer while tight
clothes will only add pounds.
-
Wear tops or dresses that have a scoop neckline
with half or long sleeves to hide heavy arms and
draw attention to the face and neck.
- Clothes
in solid colors with simple lines will make you
appear taller.
- Always
break in new shoes before wearing them out for
a special occasion
- Wear
straight silhouettes in a solid colour to hide
a thick waist.
- The
skinner the stripe, the thinner you appear.
- Don't
wear black on a hot day or at a wedding.
- A
straight cut skirt and full leg pants will hide
large thighs.
- To
appear shorter, jackets or tops should fall below
the hips.
- To
lengthen your legs wear slim, straight leg pants.
- To
appear taller and thinner, try a pinstripe suit.
- Long
sleeves should hit just at the wrist bone.
- When
you are wearing a white shirt, wear a bra close
to your skin color.
- To
hide wide hips, try an a-line style dress.
-
Give a new updated look to an old blouse or jacket
by sewing on new buttons.
- Pleats
add pounds. If you want to look larger through
the hips, wear pleats. If you don't, avoid pleats!
· If clothes don't fit, have them altered. If
they don't fit, they'll remain in the closet.
- One
of the biggest trends for spring is denim. You
can find it in skirts, shorts, jeans, jackets,
and shirts and even kurtas.
- These
are the basics measurements you need to find your
correct bra size. With a measuring tape, measure
around the torso at the underarm level and under
the breasts. If the number is odd, add one to
it. For example, if your measurement is 35, your
bra size will be 36. Next, measure around your
bust at its fullest part. Subtract the bra size
from this number.
- Pin
a safety pin to the inside of your slacks in case
of an emergency. If a button comes off or the
zipper breaks you will be prepared.
- Are
your zippers sticking? Rub them with a lead pencil
and they will slide smoothly.
- When
you buy an everyday item, try to think of at least
three things you already own that you can wear
with that item.
- Choose
your accessories wisely. Accessories can completely
change the look of an outfit.
- Women
with larger hips should choose jeans that are
generously cut through the hips with a flared
leg.
- When
losing weight, don't wait to choose wardrobe pieces.
Choose pieces that will camouflage problem areas.
