  10. Curved Line • Adds fullness to the figure because it emphasizes roundness • The curved collar widens the shoulder

  11. Color • Color has the power to change your shape. • You can use color to your advantage in your clothing.

  12. If you are tall and want to minimize your height, wear a two color outfit.

  13. Contrasting colors call attention to an area.

  14. The mono-chromatic look avoids color lines and contrasting color. The effect is to emphasize height.

  15. Focal Point A focal point is a place to which the eye is drawn first; it is a point of emphasis.

  16. Proportion • Deals with how the parts of your outfit relate to each other. • Avoid outfits that cut you in half.

  17. Balance • Formal or Symmetrical Balance –both sides are the same • Informal or Asymmetrical balance –both sides are different, yet balanced

  18. Texture • Heavily textured fabrics enlarge the figure. • Smooth, lightweight fabrics will minimize your weight.
