About Styling 101: Body Type & Colour Analysis
Don't force yourself into trends just because you saw them on Instagram. Whether you are pear-shaped, hourglass, or plus-size, the secret is highlighting your best features. In my sessions, we don't just talk theory; we look at actual necklines, blouse cuts, and fabric drapes that work for your unique silhouette, ensuring you’re comfortable from the Haldi comfortable from the Haldi comfortable from the Haldi comfortable from the Haldi comfortable from the Haldi comfortable from the Haldi comfortable from the Haldidi comfortable and confident from the Haldi to the main Pheras.
Understanding your body is the first step to looking great. Many brides fall into the trap of buying what’s trending, only to feel uncomfortable later. In my consultations, we focus on your frame. Whether you are a pear shape looking to balance your silhouette with the right blouse cuts, or a plus-size bride wanting to avoid extra bulk, it’s all about specific techniques.
We’ll cover:
- Silhouette Selection: We will discuss why V-necks or sweetheart necklines work for some, and why opting for longer cholis might be your best friend to cover the midriff comfortably.
- Fabric Knowledge: Knowing when to choose fluid fabrics like georgette versus structured ones like velvet. We look at the 'gher' (flare) and how it affects your look.
- Colour Theory: Finding the right hues for your skin tone so you don’t get washed out by heavy gold or silver embellishments.
- Jewellery Matching: We don't just pick sets; we match them to your face shape—round, square, or oval—ensuring your accessories frame your face perfectly.
No generic advice, no rigid rules. We talk about real things, like how to manage can-can layers so you don't feel weighed down, or why we should avoid certain borders that cut your height. My goal is to make sure you look in the mirror on your wedding day and feel 100% like yourself.
