Synopsis

This text aims to teach the reader how to assess her body type and then choose clothing. The process involves what the authors call an individual's design pattern. This pattern is made up of lines, shapes, proportions, body particulars, scale, colours and textures. How they fit together in harmony and how an individual infuses them with her innate creativity is what authors call 'style'.
