When storing your clothes, remember that not all garments should be hung. Only hang sturdy items like coats on wide padded hangers. For more delicate pieces like dresses or suit jackets, folding them can prevent damage from their own weight. Keep your wardrobe in top shape, even in storage!🧥📦 https://lnkd.in/gvNqVhrh #ClothingCare #StorageTips #TipTuesday #GreenEarthAffiliate

#snsinstitution #snsdesignthinker #snsdesignthinking DRAPING A draped garment (draped dress)[1] is a garment that is made of a single piece of cloth that is draped around the body; drapes are not cut away or stitched as in a tailored garment. Drapes can be held to the body by means of knotting, pinning, fibulae, clasps, sashes, belts, tying drawstrings, or just plain friction and gravity alone. Many draped garments consist of only one single piece.An advanced form of the garment is the tailored dress, which is constructed from fabric that has been cut into pieces and stitched together to fit various parts of the body. In comparison to draped dresses, they are more fitted to the body.

Six Clothing Tips for Your Next Professional Headshot Session 1. Make sure your clothing is ironed and wrinkle free. 2. Solid colors work best. 3. Avoid stripes, plaids, and large busy prints. 4. Stay away from padded shoulders, wide sleeves, or anything frilly. They add width to your frame and can be distracting. 5. Make sure collars fit properly, especially if you’re wearing a tie. Tight collars cut into your neck. Loose collars leave too much of a gap from your neck. 6. Do not wear shirts or sweaters with oversized collars and turtlenecks as they will overwhelm your face in the images. This applies to scarves as well. There you have it!

FAQ Friday “Are there any fabrics you can’t work with?” I can work with most items from shirts and trousers, to t-shirts and dresses but I do struggle with very chunky or open-weave knits. But hit s doesnt mean they are completely out of the question. I do carefully interface all fabrics to help stabilise the fabrics but please be advised that the more variation of fabrics you provide the less uniform your keepsake may look. If you are unsure as to whether an item can be used please contact me and I can advise you further. #FAQFriday #KeepsakeFAQ #HandmadeKeepsakeFAQ #PersonalisedGiftFAQ #CustomGiftFAQ #MadeWithLoveFAQ #SmallBusinessFAQ #ShopLocalFAQ #SupportSmallBusinessFAQ #GiftIdeasFAQ #KeepsakeQuestions #KeepsakeAnswers #AskTheKeepsakeExpert #KeepsakeAdvice #KeepsakeGuidance #KeepsakeTips #KeepsakeInspiration #KeepsakeIdeas #KeepsakeDesign #KeepsakeCreation #HandmadeTreasures #HeartfeltGifts #SentimentalKeepsakes #MemorableGifts #MeaningfulKeepsakes #LongLastingKeepsakes #QualityCraftsmanship #SupportLocalArtisans #LowerStondonFAQ #HertsFAQ

The Evolution of Coat Styles: A Historical and Practical Guide to Choosing the Perfect Outerwear

Dress For Women Dress Fabric: Cotton Dress Length: 53(IN) | Colour: Multicolour | Pattern: Floral | Occasion: Evening | Style: Panelled | Sleeve Type: Three-Quarter Sleeves (Balloon Sleeves ) Package Contains: 1 Dress

Keys To a Great Cut 🔑 ✂️ Here are my hard and fast rules to a truly great tailored suit. Shoulder line: A sharp shoulder line is a must. 1cm too wide or too narrow can ruin a beautiful suit or jacket. Waistline: I have an obsession with the waistline. An opportunity is often missed to help the wearer look slimmer and sleeker (even when they’re not!) This is where I developed our exclusive seam shaping design. Sleeve length: Men often raise their arms and say- sleeves are too short. Mainly because they’re so used to drowning in long sleeves. Your sleeves should hit your wrist bone and your shirt should sit 1-2cm below. Jacket length: The perfect length is sitting just below your bum cheeks. There are varying ways to work out where’s best but the eye (a good one) knows exactly where it should sit to flatter and balance. Button position: So often I see the button position in completely the wrong place. It should be at the smallest part of your waist. If you think ‘I’m tubby, there is no small part’ then you’ll find it by placing your hands into the small of your back/waist this is where your button position should be in alignment with.

Here for this bold plaid! This plaid is what I would call a "big" pattern, and it is actually quite versatile. What pant and shirt options should you wear with a jacket like this? Trousers: blue, navy, charcoal, dark grey, medium grey, grey denim, black denim, or blue denim. Pro-tip: the pant in this photo matches beautifully because it is very close to the blue in the jacket. Try pulling the color from your sport coats and choose that color for your trouser. It's a win every time. Shirts: Solid white, blue, lavender or pink. White or blue with minor patterns. I would avoid bold pattern shirts as there is already a big pattern in the jacket. #betheman #customclothingformen #stlclothier #saintlouisclothier #customclothingstlouis #smallbusiness #womanownedbusiness #sportcoats #bespokeclothing
