Re: Find Your Best Silhouette
I enjoyed reading this article. I understood (I think) - but I wanted more depth & exploration. Maybe this should have been a 5 part series of little articles like this?
posted: 10:03 pm on January 27thHere's how I understood it:
2:3 and 3:5 proportions are very pleasing to the eye.
Option A: Take a feature you want to highlight - the article illus showed a silhouette with a high, slim waist. Highlight it (a contrasting belt), then build the golden ratio with the blouse and skirt. (blouse 2: skirt 3)
Option B: Find where your figure varies from the golden figure. Then, in the ex., make a seam or hem where your waist theoretically is. (diagonal is ideal?) Keep the pant or skirt to the other part of the ratio (5). Thus, you look like you are proportional.
I used a full length photo of me to compare to the 'ideal.' I hope this helped everybody else.
