Personal style consultation sorted me out (part 2)

By Kim Bolsover

Bill took us on a shopping trip to one of the big department stores and he told me, “Try this on. It’s perfect for your shape.” It was a short, black bolero-shaped cardigan in the softest lambswool I had ever felt. The minute I put it on, I felt like I had found the real me. I couldn’t stop staring at myself in the mirror and Bill had to shout at me to keep up as the rest of the group were moving on to another department.

By the way, I’ve still got that brilliant cardigan all these years later. Even if I never wear it again, I will always keep it to remind me of the day I found myself.

Did you notice?

Not once did Bill give me a style personality title. He told other people on the course that they were a Dramatic or a Classic or whatever, but not me. Why? I asked him this years later and he told me that my particular personality type couldn’t give a monkey’s uncle about titles so there was no point!

Personal style consultation sorted me out (part 1)

By Kim Bolsover

How a ‘proper’ Personal Style consultation finally sorted me out!

32 years ago I finally discovered which colours to wear and which ones made me look ill. Colour analysis was still in its infancy in the UK and it had taken 3 whole years to work out that I really was an absolute Winter.

During that time I had been mis-diagnosed as a Spring (long story, I’ll tell you another time) and had then proceeded to terrorise the locals by wearing a light mink suit, light peach blouse, brown accessories, peach lipstick and – God help me – I’d even dyed my hair a delicious copper colour into the bargain.

In 1983, someone who’d actually been on one of the first organised training courses showed me that I was definitely a Winter and it’s been plain sailing with colour from then on. But I wanted more.

Size charts for clothes shoes & lingerie

By Kim Bolsover

We need global size charts for clothes shoes & lingerie. EN 13402 is a European standard for labelling clothes sizes. It is based on body dimensions, measured in centimetres. It aims to replace many older national dress-size systems, starting in the year 2006. But, to appeal to the ego of shoppers, UK retailers have been adding extra inches of material without changing the labels. We aren’t there just yet. So maybe these charts will help, especially if you’re travelling.

It’s called vanity sizing

By Kim Bolsover

We all know someone who is absolutely determined not to buy the next size up. For instance, they’re convinced they’re a size 12 so they “ruddy well won’t buy a 14, even if the gates of hell were to freeze over!” This isn’t you, of course, but if this is you, tell me… How exactly did you arrive at this momentous conclusion about what size you are? When did you last measure yourself properly, and whose guidelines did you use? You’re totally convinced that you’re absolutely this exact same size in every single shop in the universe? There’s a term for this particular form of mental instability. It’s called vanity sizing.

Bra measuring guide

By Kim Bolsover

Wearing a great fitting bra will help your clothes look and feel great. Unfortunately, more than 70% of women are wearing the wrong size and style of bra. Use this easy bra measuring guide to discover the correct bra and cup size for you.

Bra size (band measurement) – Without any clothes on your top half, including a bra, measure yourself in inches around the ribcage below your bust, making sure the tape measure is tight and doesn’t slide down at the back. This gives you your band measurement.

The general rule of thumb for all measuring is: less than half an inch, round DOWN, more than half an inch, round UP. So if your initial measurement is 32.25 inches, call it 32. Now calculate your bra size. If the band measurement is 33 or less, add 5 to that number. Over 33 inches add 3. Round odd numbers up to even.
