Thank you Sandra, for this clear way to analyze figures so easily. I will offer your article to my garment sewing students and to our bridal clients to help them understand why dresses work and don't work for their figure types. I have been a custom designer/dressmaker for over 30 years and use my experience to help them determine proportion and style for their events. This will help them to see how to accentuate their positive figure attributes as well. My studio is in Colorado but we offer our services to bridal parties living in many other areas. www.sewfreshstudio.com I will post this on my blog with your credits if I have permission. Please let me know thank you.
