I’ve been MIA for the last two weeks, but I’m back! This past month has been quite the whirlwind of events- I graduated from college! It still hasn’t sunk in completely yet, but I made it.

The Triumph of Individual Style – part 6

Starting with bone structure, we’re looking at wrists and ankles and deciding if they are thin/small, medium, or thick/large. The larger the bone structure, the larger the scale. Also, your wrists and ankles may be of different scales (combination), and your total body size has no bearing on your bone structure scale (so a large woman may have small or medium bone structure and a small woman may have medium or large bone structure). The bone structure scale determines the scale of construction details, such as topstitching, ribbing, plackets, width of purse and shoe straps, and width of heels.

My wrist and ankles are quite narrow. Next up are facial features. The Triumph of Individual Style – part 5.

Also explained here is the Golden Mean ratio and how it’s used in clothing.

On to discovering my own proportions: I taped a long sheet of tracing paper to the wall and had my husband mark the important points. The Triumph of Individual Style – part 2. Yesterday, we looked at line in the face and body. In today’s post we move on to chapter 2 – body shape and silhouette. Here is my crude representation of the six shapes in the book: The first two, rectangle and oval, are wide-waisted shapes.

The middle two, figure-eight and hourglass, are narrow-waisted shapes. The Triumph of Individual Style – part 2. The Triumph of Individual Style.
