In a similar vien , Vintage Fashion is not everybody’s cup of tea!

There are plenty of reasons to appreciate Vintage clothing. For me it’s the quality, the timeless appeal, the chance to look different, to own a one of a kind piece & to top it all, a chance to tastefully recycle!

When it comes to Vintage, Two of my favorite styles are 1920′s Flapper & 1950′s Wiggle Dresses! I think the dresses or Apparel from this era epitomize feminine style.

And, since these are sensibilities from an era gone by –  flaunt shamelessly, after knowing what not to flaunt.

The Do’s & Dont’s of Vintage Style Dressing : Like any other trend or way of dressing,  ”less is more” here as well. Don’t go overboard trying to mimic the era completely.  My advice will be to make it your own and merge the old with the new. Choose wisely according to your body type & accessorize accordingly.

When buying Vintage clothing make sure you know the actual measurements – yours and the apparel. Don’t go just by the suggested sizes by the seller.

Flaunt your curves in the right way and do not get narrowed down by the choices available in market in Apparel.

First thing First – Be proud of yourself and who you are! Take pride in dressing up and always feel good about your choices!

Here are some Tips for women in India and some observations made -

INDIAN WEAR 

Indian wear is the most generous and forgiving form of dressing and it actually accentuates your curves if chosen wisely -

1) When it comes to saris, always try and go for small prints, solid color with least of embroideries and works! Try experimenting with different shapes of blouses  - for example deeper necks and longer sleeves, preferably 3/4 length as it can make your upper arms look slimmer.

- always choose good quality fabric and natural fabrics, like silk, cotton, chiffon or georgettes.

Saree for Plus size Women

a) Tie your sari, slightly above the belly button. Do not tie a sari on your waist as it can make your middle look bigger.

b) Keep the colors simple (1 or 2) and avoid big or complicated prints. You can definitely choose bold colors though!

c) Accessorizing – Keep it minimum and if dressing for a wedding wear necklaces away from your face. If you are a plus size woman avoid wearing chokers.

Keep it to one bracelet or thin bangles while choosing jewelry for hand.

Go for longer earings instead of big studs.

Remember less color, less fussy prints and less jewelry gives a feeling of lightness.

To be continued for western wear and suits for plus size women – watch the space!

Look Good Feel Good!

Lace Trend Fall Winter 2011

Fall Winter 2011 Top Trend – Lace trend

From flashy to trendy, from downright gothic to extremely feminine, from tarty to sophisticated, Fall Winter 2011 runway was full of lace in all forms and styles.

Lace apparel can be very feminine or can be very revealing. Choose what you like carefully as their is a pretty thin line between classy and tartish when it comes to Lace.

Here are some pieces chosen from various retailers in India, which I think are pretty clean and would definately enhance your wardrobe.

Mango Lace Dress India

Mango, Ivory Lace Dress with cinched waist and a leather belt. Available at FCUK, Ambiance Mall,Gurgaon.

Zara Lace Blouse in green

Zara Black Lace Dress

Not any easy, fabric to embrace, so choose wisely when choosing an outfit or when going for bespoke clothing in Lace.

I personally think a Lace Sari would be a good addition to your wardrobe for current season. Choose a good quality as can make you look v frumpy, if made of cheaper quality.

Sexy ASOS Lace Top

Lace Top Promod

Lace Bustier with a Jacket

Here is the link to an EBAY page if you are looking for a Lace bustier.

Accessories – Keep accessories to minimum and no fuss, as Lace garment can be pretty showy itself. Keep shoes simple in contrast color with out any embellishments on it.

Play the rest of the accessories down to accentuate your Lace Garment.
