Body Shapes and Dresses that Fit...:::

Our bodies come in different shapes and sizes. There are basically about 4 types of body types:


Hour-glass

- The bust area and hips are about the same size, with a slimmer waist line. This body shape is more curvy and considered to be the "ideal" shape, hmm ... ok oh!

Pear

- Here, the bust and waist areas are smaller, while the hips are large, some are more pronounced than others, after all, "Ikebeh no day heavy di owner, no mata di weight!".

Straight

- Also called the Rectangle Body Shape, where the bust, waistline and hip areas are about the same size, giving an appearance of evenness.

Apple

- Also known as the Round Body Shape, this is like a revered hour-glass shape where the waistline is wider than the bust and hip areas.


Not every style that looks great on someone else will look good on you. Knowing and understanding your body shape will help you know the best dresses to wear for that glam look. So keep this in mind when next you give out your fabric to your tailor.


The Hour-Glass Shape is the easiest to style as any dress shape looks great - that's why its called the "ideal body shape":

  • Ball gowns
  • Fitted - like the mermaid, sheath or column dresses
  • Flared - like the princess


Pear Shape look great in:

  • Short dresses
  • A-line dresses


Straight Shape looks fabulous in:

  • Empire style dresses
  • Sheath gowns, column dresses


Apple Shape looks gorgeous in:

  • A-line dresses
  • Ball gowns

Face Shapes...:::

Image
You can’t talk about beauty without thinking about the shape of the face. This affects our makeup, hair, and even clothing styles. Although each person has a unique face, there are generally seven face shapes. When you have your makeup, hairstyle, clothing and even accessories complimenting your face-shape, your appearance will be balanced and you will definitely look like the style was made for you and not something you copied off someone else. Adonmu is here to present you with several tips to enhance the way you look in relation to the shape of your face. The face shapes are: Oval, Square, Round, Triangle/Pear, Heart/Inverted Triangle, Oblong and Diamond.  There really is no such thing as “The Perfect Face”, knowing your Face Shape, helps get you that “Custom Made” look for Hairstyles, Makeup and Dressing. You need to remember that not all styles fit any face shape, thus knowing what fits your face shape is the key to having that balanced suited look. Thus we’ll pr...

Achieving Your Goals - Getting it Done

Image
5 minutes read The new year usually makes you want to set a target or resolution - something you want to do or a change you want to make. It usually starts off great but sometimes we drop it before the year is through, without accomplishing the goal.  Then, the following year you still find yourself wanting to do, create, have, give or experience that same thing, or even something bigger.

It happens to the best of us but there's a way - a proven way that has worked for decades.  I'm here to simplify it for you so we can have it done together - This year is all about accomplishments.  Before I tell you how to achieve your goals, let me quickly give you a refresher on what goals are and how to set the right goals for success - because that's the first step to success.  Goal Setting Goals are simply the things we want to achieve . We direct our efforts towards the goals, and use them to determine our succes...

Understanding Your Hair

Image
Great hair is indeed possible, once you understand your hair. We all crave to have healthy, longer, shinier hair, so read on and be on your way to understanding what your hair needs and could do without. Basically, we have 2 types on hair on our body: Vellus hair which is found all over our body, on the upper lip and forehead. It is very fine and short hair which is usually not colored (un-pigmented, usually translucent) and doesn't grow longer than 2cm. This hair has just 2 layers: the cortex and cuticle. Terminal hair which is the longer, coarser, pigmented hair that grows on our scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits and groin. This hair has 3 layers : the medulla in the middle filled with air and proteins, the cortex containing melanin, and the cuticle on the outside. When hair emerges from our scalp it has about 6 - 10 layers of cuticle. The cells of the cuticle overlap  at about a 5 degree angle (looking like the tiles on a roof), pointing down towards the tips of the...
