STYLE ANALYSIS FOR WOMEN
“Fashion fades, style is eternal.” Yves St Laurent

An individual Style Consultation takes approximately two and a half hours. The analysis involves the taking of a series of measurements and a visual assessment of your body’s shape and proportions. This information is then used to produce a specific and comprehensive Style Portfolio and Shopping Guide containing detailed style recommendations. Clothing and accessories are effectively deconstructed and each aspect of a garment’s design is analysed. You are advised on the styles that negatively impact on your appearance as well as those that will positively enhance and flatter your body’s shape and proportions. This helps you to eliminate garments on the boutique rack before you even try them on. Collars, necklines, skirts, dress styles, garment lengths through to swimwear, hats, glasses and more are covered by your portfolio. It also includes advice for hairstyles to suit your individual face shape.

“Do my hips look big in this?”

When a Style Analysis is made 4 major elements of garment design are taken into consideration:

Shape
Line
Texture
Scale

All garments have internal and external design features. These features have the power to enhance or detract from a body’s visual appearance. Chosen poorly they can make a body appear heavier, shorter and/or out of balance. Design features however, can work minor miracles in disguising all manner of figure challenges. Once you have the right information about your body’s own design you will be able to shop quickly and effectively. You will be able to recognise garments that do and don’t have the right silhouettes, lengths, patterns and textures. You will be able to choose clothes that are figure flattering and a pleasure to wear.

“We don’t know what it is that we don’t know.”

One of the most frequent remarks made by clients during a style analysis is: “I didn’t know that!” Women are frequently unaware of what it is they don’t know, they may even consider that they have all the information they need to look good. However, few of us are fully aware of the principles of line and design when we start buying clothes and developing a wardrobe for socal and professional purposes. This means that what we do know we have learned the hard way; by trial and error. And then just when we think we have it all worked out, one of those significant life and figure altering events occurs; pregnancy, menopause….or we simply gain weight and suddenly we are back to the beginning, not having a clue what to buy or wear. Nothing seems to suit or fit.
An ‘Absolutely Fabulous Style Analysis’ will take the angst and the guess work out of garment selection. It is an enlightening and empowering experience that will change the way you think about clothes, shopping and yourself.

Hi Michelle and Sharron-Del,
Thank you both so much for a wonderful day today, checking out my colour and style.
I really enjoyed meeting both of you and going through the processes to establish what colours and clothing styles will best suit me.
You both made me feel very comfortable and gave me lots of information which I will be digesting for quite a while. Shopping for clothes will be much easier, especially if my colours are in fashion!
A special thank you for showing such warm hospitality
Warm regards, Anne Sandell

 

Hi Michele and Sharron-Del
Just wanted to fill you in on my success with an outfit for the wedding. ……. I felt fantastic and I had many comments on how great I looked and on my outfit - My family couldn't stop commenting on how more confident I seemed - after having seen me less than 6 months ago. I felt as I had on my wedding day. I am now wearing make up to work. Everyone has commented on how much weight I have lost and how good I look. I certainly am in need of some new skirts and clothes but I have put that on the back burner for a few weeks. I have been finding lots of clothes in my cupboard that I haven't worn for many years in the right colours. I can't thank you both enough and I have sung your praises highly - I have suggested to a few girls at work to look at maybe asking for an analysis as a birthday present. I will send you a photo of the "new" me as I am so proud - it was just a pity my husband and son weren't there to see me. Sorry about the epic but had to share it with you both. Thanks again.
Hugs from a glamorous Cathy

Hi Sharron-Del and Michele
Just turned my computer on to email you to thank you for yesterday. It was fabulous and well worth it. If only you can get through to people the money they will save by buying unsuitable items as well as the time factor I spent quite a long time going through my portfolio and colours last night and I think I've got my head around it a little bit. It was the first thing I read when I got up this morning too. I'm so excited!
Thank you again. . You're so good at what you do. Leonie xxxx
