What's up fashion! Do you know what you are wearing?

I have always been a fashion addict. I always loved, loved, loved everything and anything about clothes. Yet, as big as is my devotion, it has been incredibly eye opening to find out how very little I knew about the other side of fashion which is known as design, development and production, shortly the DDP.
To me fabric was just some concoction of thread with the preferable prints on it, buttons were details I liked as long as they were placed away from my butt and if you asked me the difference between a knit and a woven fabric, you would get the same kind of response a recent date-to-be got as he asked me if he could come wearing his crocs.
The first response, naturally, was "Are you kidding me?" followed by the second response which is "Unless those fuchsia crocs come with an accompanying fuchsia Hermes Birkin, there won't be a meeting." But I digress. Joking aside, when you are making your garment selections, it is actually important to pay attention to the type of fabric the garment is made of, your body shape and your size in order to achieve the best fit for a visually appeasing appearance.
For example, IGIGI currently uses both knits and wovens. Wovens are usually used for work and evening separates, and are not very stretchy, and all IGIGI wovens come in single sizes as in size 14, size 16 etc.
Knits are usually used for cocktail and evening dresses and some separates, and are significantly stretchier than wovens. All IGIGI knits come in split sizes like size 14/16, size 18/20 etc.

Knowing your body shape and dressing to highlight your assets are crucial to creating a wardrobe which will make you feel beautiful and confident in the clothes that you wear no matter what the occasion is.
IGIGI myshape feature has information and outfit recommendations for 7 body shapes including diamond, rectangle, oval, inverted triangle, hourglass, triangle, and figure eight.
The main distinguishing attribute between the body types is the existence of a well-defined waist. Hourglasses, triangles and figures eights have a well-defined waist, while diamonds, rectangles, ovals and inverted triangles are more on the straight side with no well-defined waist.
Next week, I will go over dressing for your shape in order to get a great fit. So stay tuned!
