Easter Frockery: Hourglass Figure

Like a game of dot to dot, all the dress must accomplish is follow the lines of your equitably contoured hourglass figure.

















1. Easter outfitting would certainly be deficient without at least the suggestion of millinery. The cherry a top the creamy vanilla lines of the Paisley jacquard Dress, dramatized by the Victorian collared With-A-Flourish Shirt Dress complete with waist belt to cinch in on your little waist.

















2. There's no occasion for puffed sleeves, full skirts, or other illusions. Couple a fitted bodice with a pencil skirt and you're ready to go. In this case to a fairy tale tropical escape with your Maidens Braid Cardi and Inagua Dress.

The Upper Figured Princess will emerge from the shadows tomorrow.

Easter Frockery: Linear Figure

There are two equally successful roads for the linear figure.

















1. On the first road, no frill is spared in favor of a flirtatiously felicitation. Elegance is candied in the organdy hewn Musing Moon Dress It is then topped with three layers of crocheted delectation on the Boyer Cream Cardigan.






















2. On the second road, we opt for soft, submissive, supple shapes. The angles of the linear figure are softened beneath the yin shapes of the M.S.S.P. Printed Dress and Sand & Sea Bolero

Lady Hourglass, prepare to take center stage tomorrow.

Easter Frockery: Lower Figure

A fitted bodice floating over an a-line skirt - appropriately shining and shadowing the lovely lower figure. Cardigan Empire recommendations ensue:

1. Bright, saturated, and full of life The Sweet-As-Pie Dress creates a perfectly modern Easter. Instead of a traditional floral, dots of graphic appliques embellish a perfectly pear silhouette, complete with strategically placed colorblocking at the waist and hem.

Enclosing the shoulders is a layer of cheerful crocheted cephalopods swimming around the edges of the Octopus Warp.



1. Normally I prohibit the use of Black at Easter, but the Wild Bush Rose Shirtdress's pairing of ebony and ivory feels fresh rather than mournful. I love how the pattern of the skirt rises above the self belt, drawing even more attention to the comparatively tiny waist.


Tomorrow we'll be frocking Linear Ladies.

Easter Frockery: Middle Figure

When I had not yet crowned 48 inches, my mother used to sew kindred dresses for me and my three sisters. My signature color was cherried red, and it was invariably paired with a white hat and gloves. In essence, I felt delightfully bonny. And you should feel bonny on Easter too. For if anything Easter is a celebration of fresh starts and eternal hope. Presented below are Cardigan Empire's choices for your Easter occasion.

Cardigan Empire recommends two dress silhouettes for the middle figure.

1. First, the shift dress. It cascades over soft central lines without a defined waist. Showing only its own sharp architecture, but still revealing lovely limbs.

For services, we can layer under or over the shift.





The long sleeves of the patterned top will draw attention down to your comparatively narrow hips.












Or use the jacket, tying the self belt in the back to create shape with out drawing attention to your midsection.






2. The second option is the empire waist. The empire waist highlights the narrowest part of your torso, underneath the bust, while the skirt swishes like a cloud around your soft delicious center.



To keep the look sweet and demure, we layer over and under. Raising the neckline with a lace trimmed cami feels deliberate rather than a compromise between modesty and fashion. The analogously hued Sweet Orange Cardigan will brighten the cheeks of a wide range of complexions.














We'll be back tomorrow with Easter Frocks for the lower figure.

Essential Wardrobe: The Classic White Blouse

The classic white blouse likes everyone and everyone likes the classic white blouse. Denim likes it, trousers like it, skirts like it, jumpers like it. If one garment of clothing were going to act as student body president, it would be the classic white blouse. Below are some candidates for your empire.

Upper Figure Options
Closet empires are not equal opportunity employers, and the Upper Figure need not employ white blouses with little gaping buttons for the benefit of tradition. Keep it clean with an open neckline to break up the line of the bosom. Fit the girls first and tailor the rest. Apply belting and tucking assistants as appropriate to offer appropriate shape and style.

Middle Figure Options: The keywords are cascade and camouflage. Show off your arms, your lovely neck, but keep the soft lines of your figure under banded tops and tunic style cuts with a finished hem that will not be tucked in.

























Lower Figure Options: A defined waist with a skirted peplum to cascade over the hips, never fails a southern endowed lady.


























Hourglass Options: Tie it, belt it, band it: whatever you need to do to show off the center of your torso.

























Linear Options: Keep the neckline high and embellish to allude to volume and curves.


























If you have warm undertones in your complexion consider wearing an ivory or honey beige as opposed to a cool white.
