Hi. My bust size is 40 H and my bottoms are size 12/What ps are best for me that reduce my bust and hide my belly? Never refer to yourself as weird or a hot mess. As you mention any body is different, your measurements suggest a rectangle shape. There is more info about it here. Each body is unique and beautiful! Perhaps experiment with the guidelines of rectangle and hourglass and see what looks best. I’m a pear. Good thing I like pears! I probably need to read up on what not to wear for my body type as I have some asymetrical dresses that never look quite right on me. For instance, my legs aren’t heavy but I definitely do tend to gain weight in my butt and thighs and I have narrow shoulders. In Wim Wenders’ new film about the choreographer Pina Bausch there’s a wonderful sequence from one of her productions.
She is transformed and yet still herself.
So it’s the magic of a summer dress. Actually a few moments later we see that the redish fabric was, as a matter of fact, a dress and she is now wearing it.
It seems at first like a light red rag to a bull.
Finally the women summons the courage to come very close to a man.
He grabs the scrap of fabric and her. Fact, it’s primal, That’s a fact, it’s not just simple. Screen goes blank. Certainly, restrictive nature of the shoes, women wear high heels with summer dresses So there’s an essential contradiction between the freedom and lightness implied by the dress and the decorative. Then, a summer dress looks best either with sneakers, sandals, ‘flip flops’ or, ideally, no shoes really. Notice, a summer dress can serve as a cocktail dress but not viceversa. You can pay a lot but, equally, it can be the kind of thing you can pick up for next to nothing. Price is irrelevant. So that’s appropriate since, in I know it’s next to nothing, though it’s also ‘allpurpose’.
I am aware of the dangers of converting personal preferences into rules but, in the spirit of Wallace Stevens’ poem Notes ward a Supreme Fiction, there’re my thoughts on the perfect dress.
