FASHION TABLE WITH STEPHANIE: UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY SHAPE

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY SHAPE 

Basically, there are five (5) body shapes that everyone fits into. Some people have more but they're all derivatives from these fundamental five (5). 

1. Triangle (Pear) shape
2. Inverted triangle (Apple) shape
3. Hourglass (Figure 8) shape
4. Oval (Orange) shape
5. Rectangle (Banana) shape

Let's just give a little preview on the defining characteristics of these shapes, so that you can know your body shape and style yourself or a client appropriately. 

1.Triangle (Pear) shape: These people have small bust size and big hips. The hips don't have to be large, but there should be a major difference when you compare it with the bust size. 

2. Inverted triangle shape: These people have a large upper torso and small hips. The bust and shoulders are the bigger part when compared to the hips and butt. 

3. Hourglass (figure 8) shape: This is the most ideal shape and it's basically what every stylist tries to achieve. Here the bust and hip size are either the same or really close and they have a defined waistline (the waist circumference is waaayyyyyyy smaller than the bust and hip size). 

4. Oval (Apple) shape: These people ehn, they are round in the middle (that's the easiest way to put it). Their most defining feature is their "not-defined" waist line which overshadows their bust and hip size. 

5. Rectangle (Banana) shape: First off, I don't know why they call it "Banana" shape though, these people aren't bent. I would have preferred it as cucumber or sugarcane shape or something. This is the standard shape, not ideal oooo, but standard. Most mannequins you see, if not all are rectangle shaped. They aren't too curvy, but they have a balanced hip and bust size. They do not have a really defined waistline though, that's where they're different from the Hourglass. 

Now that we've acquainted ourselves with the basic body shapes, we'll continue next week with how to style the different body shapes. 

Ask any question(s) or relay any message(s) in the comment section or send me a dm. I'm waiting for your feedback guys.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
