To determine what clothing fundamentals enhance your body, consider your five different body
elements:

• Body Shape
• Face Shape
• Color of Skin, Hair, and Eyes
• Body Proportion
• Body Frame size

Understanding your Body Shape informs you about the overall shape of the clothes best suited for
you. It is also the first component for determining the placement of lines: both horizontal and
vertical.
Your Face Shape clues you in to the best shapes for design details (collars, lapels, and pockets), as
well as those of your prints and accessories.
Your Coloring (Skin, Hair, and Eyes) determines the color of your clothing and accessories. In
addition, the Color Intensity between your skin, hair, and eyes provides the best means to
determine your best Color Combinations and appropriate Scale for your accessories and prints.

Your Body Proportion is the second component pertaining to the placement of horizontal and
vertical lines. It is also the second ingredient in determining the appropriate Scale for your
accessories and prints.
Finally, your Body Frame size is the last element used to determine the appropriate scale for your
accessories and prints.

Ultimately, when the shape, design detail, color, and scale of your clothing and accessories
compliment your body; you come alive. You look impeccable. You exude youth, health, energy,
and carry yourself differently. As a result, your confidence and personal power increase.
Clients often tell me when they wear clothes which fit, and enhanced their bodies, they feel more
confident. Feel empowered. They gained energy because the thought they didn’t look perfect was
turned off. They were able to focus 100% on the task at hand.
When you finish this workbook, you will have the basic knowledge and tools to transform from
dressing shabbily to dressing impeccably.
