Release the tomboy in you
How do you express your tom boy preferences without offending anyone and breaking the rules? How do you please your human resource officer and at the same time stay true to yourself?
The answer is, with a lot of wisdom, you can opt for a relaxed outfit.
Outfit
A black and gray blouse with a wide V shaped neckline worn with wide legged deep purple low slung trousers.
Tip
There is a hidden treat to be found in trousers with a relaxed fit. When cut just right, they have the most amazing slimming effect on fuller hips. The trick is to get your seamstress to start cutting the flare of the trousers from the widest point of your hips gradually increasing it to your desired width.
This when teamed with a slim fitting blouse, creates the impression of length. (Do not forget that the right underwear worn beneath such an attire will enhance your look).
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
lFor the blouse, anything from bazaar or even linen can be used. To achieve the stripe detail of the blouse, as illustrated, your seamstress may need to cut the fabric on the bias.
l2 metres of double width should be sufficient for the blouse. lSuiting fabric, denim and khaki can be used for the trousers.
l2 ½ metres of double width fabric is enough.
