I agree they aren't the same pieces, but it is the same woman on the same day (presumably) and the difference that the right pieces/proportions make is stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442589 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 23:15:28 +0000 Adelfa 1442589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a wardrobe full of basics in neutral colors and similar cuts, but I have to try on every new combination and tweak it, because an inch here or there really does make such a difference!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442493 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 18:31:35 +0000 Day Vies 1442493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When it comes to proportions I figure them out for the pieces I buy then I stay in my lane. I do play in my closet often enough to try out new proportions but generally creating more volume at or below my hips (because proportionally they are non-existent) is going to be the winning proportion no matter what the combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442409 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 12:52:46 +0000 Ann in New England 1442409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely need this help. I notice the company sold a $30 pdf that gives you individual measurements but seems to be defunct. but if it's just the Golden Ratio, Icould do the math myself, if I knew where to begin measuring. Head? Shoulders? There's also something about the width of the shoulder line that comes into play. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442209 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 00:29:31 +0000 Zibbets 1442209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trekkiegirl, yes! The one example looks like they put the dress on her backward for the "before" shot, though, so maybe it really is the "same outfit."</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442203 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 00:27:37 +0000 E 1442203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's quite interesting, although I notice that in some of the cases the woman is posing differently too (e.g. turned a by to side vs straight on or with her arm cocked to show her waist line better vs arm flat to side). Number one convinces me that I need to take a serious look at the lengths of my tops though! I suspect I'd do better with gems hitting around mid-hip, like the woman shown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442202 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 00:26:21 +0000 AM 1442202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trekkiegirl - That was my first reaction too.

Neckline, length,....</p> <p>I think I can learn from this. I am confident with my colour choice, shoe selection, mixing patterns and textures. But I think my proportions can be wrong at times.</p> <p>I have at least one top that would benefit from shortening, and I will take a look at this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442180 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 23:47:08 +0000 Gigi 1442180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trekkiegirl, I noticed that too. It is a bit misleading, isn't it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442179 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 23:40:20 +0000 trekkiegirl 1442179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only one that is really annoyed by the words "same outfit"? Obviously it's the same colors and some even the shape, but if one skirt is ankle length and another is knee length... ITS NOT THE SAME OUTFIT sorry not yelling lol I just don't know html on my phone or I would do italics.<br /> To me, "same outfit" implies that it's the exact same pieces but maybe belted, or cuffed or something. Not completely different items. Whatever, rant over. I totally see the point they're making </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442130 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:25:18 +0000 Lyn D. 1442130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very Interesting- thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visualizing-proportions-in-dressing#post-1442123 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:05:58 +0000 deb 1442123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for this visual.

I do agree that proportions can do amazing things for an outfit.</p> <p>The thing I found most fascinating in this image is the difference that the neckline makes.
