In the style, it is good to apply the oblique direction in the cell and strip. The smooth grace of a calm, balanced woman is best emphasized by the same smooth, as if "frozen" pattern, more calm color combinations. This will not be a daring expansion of curls, but the lyrical bends of the petals of chrysanthemums, marine plants, a frosty pattern on glass.
At one time, there were a lot of catchy crepe de chine in scarlet poppies in the shops. It seemed to me an artist’s failure - on the women that met on the street, he “shouted” too much, and therefore looked a bit clumsy. But then she met one, all over the Ukrainian, - a dark-skinned brunette with big brown eyes. And what a wonderful frame the woman’s bright appearance turned out to be! Its brightness was "on an equal footing" with the colors of the look. Somehow, harmony arises by itself if a woman-southerner is in a dress with patterns of southern, tropical flowers - magnolias, orchids, peonies, large red roses. But the power of the image instantly goes out, if it is surrounded by the lyrical motives of the northern nature, where the tone is more muffled, gray is mixed in colors. Modest twigs of flax, a small flower of Ivanovo chintz, on the contrary, will reveal the subtlety of the appearance of a woman with a brown-haired and gray-eyed. Here, a more complex color scheme, collected on the basis of blue, gray, ocher.
Today, there are many patterns borrowed from the culture of different countries. Oriental geometric ornament, juicy and contrasting, most of all will decorate a woman with oriental features. And forever remains alien, for example, a plump white-skinned blonde. Batik - a fabric spread with uneven spots - came to us from a costume of the peoples of Africa. And he will remain the most spectacular on a slender woman with a clear outline of a well-tanned body. A fair-and-bright decorative patterns with a Japanese kimono just emphasize the originality of the appearance of a white-skinned brunette.
You can often see how women buy the same fabric at once for two dresses. But we are so different. Imagine a mother and her adult daughter in the same fabric. One of the two will certainly lose. But if small, calm, more complex patterns are most harmonious with the appearance of a woman who is in her forties, they will inevitably tell the old age. Clarity, courage, contrast are closer to the spirit of youth in all clothes, and lightness, tenderness, and naivety are closer to the very age. When her mother appeared in a dress with forget-me-nots, field bells, always reminding us of something sweet, fragile, infinitely young, they immediately unprofitable set off the degree of mature appearance.
And here is a little sad story. One of my acquaintances retired and decided to dress up, sew dresses, suits from the cuts that had been accumulating in the closet for years, which before somehow did not reach their hands. She laid them out in front of her and was taken aback. But how will she wear this red one with black stains or the one with a plate the size of a plate? I was late. And not the fabrics are outdated, but the image has changed. I just chose white and gray stripes, just in time for gray hair and for a gait slowed down with age. Do not allow the tissue to settle. And do not persuade yourself that, bought ten years ago, you will be young today.
