DEALING
WITH YOUR FIGURE FLAWS
You
and your true figure.
Walk toward your mirror and with all honesty how do you describe your body? What
about your clothes? Does it suit your style? Which of your features do you like
best? Which the least?
Be subjective. -
- NOTES
:
- What
is a sloping shoulder? It is the
height difference between the neck base and shoulder tip.
Body
slope frequently changes with weight gain
and can change the fit of a garment. If weight is gained, you probably need to
shorten front or lengthen the back to avoid hiking in the back. If you have never
had a problem with slope, you're lucky your slope does not fall into this category
of a problem. - We
are all a combination of good and not-so-good traits. However,
we can project our best figure points and camouflage the parts of our body that
we consider our worst figure points.
- Today,
there is an unwritten standard that we all believe for beauty and style. We abide
and perpetuate this by entertaining ourselves with beauty contests and shows such
as Miss Universe, Miss World, etc. This standard is made up of our collective
decision which have been carried through several generations. We don't really
know when and where it started. We just, unnoticeably, set this standards to ourselves.
-
-
- When
asked to name a beautiful celebrity, we tend to respond with the same answer.
This thing is certain because we imagine the same standard that is preset in our
minds. It is also certain that every time we approve things that looks good, this
standard becomes more realistic and the acceptance of the process will go on.
-
-
- Fashion
news which is so meting that the majority has accepted spread fast. Reporters
write them on their newspapers, editors feature them on their magazines, photographers
capture them on their cameras and artists preserve them on their canvasses until
the whole world have seen them. Likewise, libraries keep records of these until
they become part of our lifestyles' history. Without a doubt, this is what made
up our standard for today and tomorrow.
-
-
- What
happens if something does not fall into these standard? It's plain unfortunate.
There are ways we can do to align them however, like plastic surgery, working
out at the gym and, most of the time, the use of camouflage techniques.
-
-
- Camouflage
is the easiest way to cover up body flaws.
Instead of demonstrating your flaws, you can display them where they will do you
good. That is its basic principle.
-
- Practice
the camouflage techniques
and you'll discover a new you.
