Dressing the Petite Woman

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 01:56:44 +0000

Are you a petite woman who finds shopping for clothes which fit, a real challenge? I am a petite woman and I used to find that being less than 5ft 3" meant that my size is not at the top of the manufactures lists!

So, what changed? Well, since training as an Image Consultant, I am now fully equipped with rules & tools to enable me to select the right styles and put together my outfits appropriately for my size.

Colour

All of use can use the key rule of wearing one colour from head to toe to create the illusion of height. If you prefer to wear two colours, make sure the proportions are 2/3 to 1/3, with the lighter, brighter colour being the 1/3 at the top.

Volume

Wearing bulky fabrics or those styles with large volume will only succeed in swamping the petite frame. So, ensure you avoid skirts & trousers with minimal volume.

Prints

Smaller prints are far more flattering for petites. Large patterns will swamp you and give you the appearance of being larger than you actually are.

Fabric weight

You need to ensure you balance the weight of fabric with your bone structure. If you have very fine fingers, narrow wrists and angles, you will need to keep to minimal texture in your clothing. You can layer your fabrics but make sure this is only done with fine to medium fabrics.

Clothing details

Try to avoid clothing styles which have large details which run the risk of making you look like a clown! Detailing such as pockets, buttons, collars, belts need to be kept in balance with your scale and height. If you choose to wear a large accessory such as a necklace or belt as a statement piece, then you need to ensure it is the only piece and that the rest of the outfit must be kept simple.

Tall & Petite

If you are petite in scale but are tall, you can tweak these rules slightly. With your height you will be able to wear more colour blocking. Layering can be achieved using heavier and more textured fabrics. A neat hairstyle is a must for a petite frame but if you are taller, you can opt for a fuller hairstyle. You will also be able to wear larger accessories without the worry of them being to large for your frame.

If you are petite or if you face any other challenges when you are shopping for clothes, then why not treat yourself to a full Colour Me Beautiful Image Consultation. Your consultant will focus on your positive attributes and provide you with some easy to follow tips to abolish those challenges. You will also find out the best stores to find clothing which is appropriate for the petite woman.

In the Bible versus the Quran: a Woman is Clothed with the Sun

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 01:06:57 +0000

The Moon is mentioned in the Bible 41 times, 32 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament. The Moon is mentioned in the Noble Quran 25 times

In the Bible, Revelation 12:1 says that a a Woman is Clothed with the Sun, the Moon is under Her Feet and on Her Head there is a Crown of 12 stars.

In the Quran, 41:37 says that the sun and the moon are signs of Allah the Almighty; hence, prostrate before Allah and do not prostrate before the sun or the moon

————————-

Revelation 12:1 in four different versions of the Bible:

New International Version

1A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.

New American Standard Bible

1A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

English Standard Version

1And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

King James Version

1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

The verse says that:

There is a a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun; the moon was under her feet, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

It seems likely that the writer(s) of this verse has no idea about the Astronomy nor has he any idea about the size of the sun or its temperature, the size of the stars or the law of gravity.

Chapter 41: FUSSILAT (EXPLAINED IN DETAIL)

Verse 41:37 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

QARIB: among his signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. but do not prostrate yourselves before the sun or the moon; rather prostrate before Allah, who created them both, if it is he whom you worship.

SHAKIR: and among his signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon; do not prostrate to the sun nor to the moon; and prostrate to Allah who created them, if him it is that you serve.

PICKTHAL: and of his portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah who created them, if it is in truth him whom ye worship.

YUSUFALI: among his signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, who created them, if it is him ye wish to serve.

The verse says that:

The night and the day and the sun and the moon; all these are signs from Allah; they are his creatures and portents of His divine Oneness and power. That is why doing not worship the sun or the moon; but worship Allah who created them, for you should worship the One Who created them.

It is also said that this means: if, by worshipping the sun and the moon, you intend to worship Allah, then do not worship them, for the worship of Allah lies in not worshipping them.

In other words, do not prostrate to the sun and moon, but prostrate to God Who created them, namely, these fours signs, if it is Him Whom you worship.

Back to my question for the smart reader:

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Fashion For The Full Size Woman

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 05:08:42 +0000

It is an open secret that most women are not size two and they are not six feet tall. And yet, the tiny percentage of the population who conforms to those dimensions seems to be the target of the fashion industry. Rarely do you see fashion that is targeted at the full size woman.

For years the full size woman has been treated as a minority while in fact they have been the majority. Full size women are not only mothers and housewives they are also business women. Trends are shifting and one even sees full size woman models here and there.

It is as if the fashion industry is slowly starting to wake up to the fact that there is a lucrative market for the taking. Not only are they also fashion conscious and sometimes dedicated fashion divas, but the full size woman can look absolutely spectacular in clothing designed for her posture.

There are several stores and boutiques that now specialize in full size clothing. They carry everything from intimate wear to business and evening wear. These stores not only know but they celebrate that real women do have curves, and they also aim to make plus size women looking and feeling beautiful and keeping pace with the latest fashion trends.

Just because a woman is not a size two does not mean that she is not active or even athletic. Plus size clothing, whilst long overdue, is quickly catching up with the fashion world. As the designers prepare for their spring and fall fashion shows many are also creating plus size fashion lines that will focus solely on the woman with curves. This is wonderful news for the full size women, because more and more they can look just as fashionable as that size two six foot tall model on the runway.

Designer plus size clothing must have quality, fashion and functionality in order for the plus size woman to buy their products.

Being a size two is not the norm in everyday life and while fashion designers have not entirely caught up with the real woman, they are getting there one stitch at a time and winning over consumers. Fashion for the full size woman is fun, flirty, fashionable, exciting and beautiful. Just like the women who wear the clothing.
