Make sure the shoulders are narrow and stitched
on the shoulder bone rather than the curve.

Dresses will always look best on you.
Dress Length
should just touch at the knee or a bit above
it (formal clothes) ….you can go shorter for casual dresses .

Avoid pockets completely because they add weight
to your silhouette.

neckpiece which draws the attention upwards thus adding length to your frame.
5)
If you do have pockets in the trousers of shirt,
make sure you get them sewn and sealed .

Length of your trouser is very important. It
should not be too long or too short. Avoid Capri styles by all means because
they cut the leg’s length.

The in seam of your trouser should be as close
to the real measurement as possible so as to give length to your leg.

silhouette in case you are wearing separates. The top of the body should look
one part of the total three parts
vertically. And the legs should be two parts visually.

Necklines should be V or scooped preferably.

3/4th of the arms should be showing.
