Know Your Body Know Your Style KNOW YOUR BODY KNOW YOUR STYLE Our bodies are classified according to certain specific types of silhouettes. You will learn about your body type, the clothes that favor each silhouette and those that should definitely be avoided. Your body shape may have traits of two types of silhouettes. Stand in front of a full-length mirror in your underwear and carefully study your body shape. Regardless of whether you are slim or plump, your body will tend to predominantly conform to one of the body types described below. Knowing your silhouette, you will be able to know what type of outfits that will make you look great, and which ones you should avoid as they throw the shape of your body off balance. 2020 Playfication Learning, LLC © PagePage 1 of 1 8 of 8 HOURGLASS SHAPE This type of female figure is typically considered the perfect figure because it is the most proportionate. It is the most versatile body shape and practically everything that women with this figure wear looks good on them. However, you should avoid falling into exaggerations that unbalance your body. You have an hourglass figure, when your shoulders and hips measure the same, and your waist is narrower. You have a balanced and symmetrical body. Clothes that lengthen your body will accentuate your figure and make you look great. What to wear: 1. Wrap dresses and “A” shaped skirts 2. Dresses with a defined waist and knee-length skirts highlighting your curves 3. Solid colors 4. Two-piece dresses 5. Shirt dresses with a waist belt 6. Small pleated, straight, hip, high-waisted pants, and capris if you are taller than 1.65m or 5.4ft. 7. Straight or pencil skirts 8. Form fitting clothes 12. V-necks 13. Long necklaces 14. Sweaters ending at the waist or hips 15.Jackets with no shoulder pads Avoid: 1. Heavy fabrics 2. Hip belts, as they will make your bottom look more voluminous 3. Unstructured jackets with no discernible waist 4. Baggy or amorphous clothing 5. Loose, shapeless clothing Page 2 of 8 TRIANGULAR OR PEAR-SHAPED BODY You have small, short, or droopy shoulders, a slender and slim waist, with your natural curves concentrated at the buttocks area; you usually have wide hips. Always remember to add volume to your torso. You must balance the narrowness of your shoulders with the width of your hips, so that the visual weight falls on your torso. Your figure lends itself to wearing colorful blouses or shirts, sweaters, and jackets, with lots of texture and prints. What to wear: 1. "V" necks 2. Women: a modest cleavage, because what you want is to add volume, taking care not to appear vulgar. You can look sexy, but at the same time classy 1. Colors and prints that add volume, bright colors, or striking prints, but at the bottom wear solid and darker colors 2. Asymmetrical blouses with textures that add volume, drapes, ruffles, and movement, blouses with batwing sleeves, and strapless blouses 3. Shirts and coats with a tailored collar in bright colors with details on the top such as fringes, ruffles or embellishments will make your shoulders look proportionate to your hips 4. Boat or square necklines 5. Shoulder pads 6. Wide collars, scarves, and pashminas in the winter 7. Straight or bootcut pants in neutral or solid colors 10. Fifties’ style dresses 11. Asymmetrical jackets, with details on the shoulders and pronounced shoulder pads 12. Skirts that start at the waist with an “A” cut.

Straight dark pants with hidden pockets 15. Navy or sailor style clothing with vertical stripes 16. Thin belts 17. Light colors at the top and darker colors at the bottom Avoid: 1.

Pleated skirts, miniskirts, or shorts Page 3 of 8 INVERTED TRIANGLE | TRAPEZOID BODY Your body has a broad back, with narrow hips and usually long limbs and sometimes flat glutes. The torso is often short. Your body requires that you visually balance your upper body with your waist and legs. Therefore, what favors you most are textures and all that adds visual weight at the bottom and mark your waist. This type of body is most common among Latina women, as they tend to have a small waist which makes them look very feminine. Your goal with this body type is to balance the hips with the torso so that your shoulders do not look too small. What to wear: 1. Blouses with ¾ length sleeves 2. Draped tops, and tops that fall below the waist 3. Double cuff dress shirts 4. Jackets with decorations on the pockets and one button jackets without shoulder pads and without lapels or with narrow lapels 5. “V” necks without too pronounced neckline, “strapless” necklines 6. Wide belts if you are slender 7. Broad suspenders, to make the shoulders look narrower 8. Dresses with an empire cut, as they define the narrowest part of your body, and bubble or tulip type dresses 9.

Cargo pants with wide colored hems, pleated pants, and Bedouin or harem type pants, and patterned pants and dark leggings if you are thin 13. Big earrings and long necklaces 15. Large totes that end at the hips, crossbody bags and large bags or satchels 16. You can use light colors at the bottom and dark colors at the top. 17. Wearing long necklaces will give your body verticality and consequently balance Avoid: 1. Strapless dresses or blouses 2. Back necklines, as it will broaden your back 3. Horizontal lines and patterns, bright colored tops, shoulder pads 4. Brooches, ruffles or other accessories that add more volume to your shoulders 5. Little texture on top 6. Horizontal lines at the top 7. Boat necks and halter necks 8. Jackets with wide lapels Page 4 of 8 H-SHAPED OR RECTANGULAR BODY Your hips and shoulders are balanced with your poorly defined waist, with flat buttocks and small bust. Your type of silhouette requires definition at the hips to make you look more feminine if you are female, with drapes, striking belts that enhance your waist and structured designs at the waist, prints, short jackets and separate pieces that define the waist. The important thing is to enhance your curves and add volume. In the summer you can show off your shoulders and accentuate them. What to wear: 1. Straight lines 2. Use minimalist combinations and never appear bulky 3. Ruffles and layered dresses that will define your curves 4. Light colors, horizontal stripes, and patterns to enhance your hips 5. Dresses highlighting your waist 6. Large, tight, and colored belts that contrast with your outfit to emphasize your waist 7. Long jackets with short skirts or long skirts and short jackets 8.

Long, straight structured jackets or coats 2. Heavy fabrics ankle length dresses, stiff and boring attire that will make you appear square shaped 3. Oversized bags or totes, square shaped accessories that add rigidity 4. Monochrome outfits 5. Everything that hides or diminishes your curves Page 5 of 8 ROUND, DIAMOND OR OVAL SHAPED BODY This type of body has very well defined curves, so what you should do is give structure to make it look balanced and aesthetic and hide the parts with greater visual weight such as the abdomen, bust and back. If you have big shoulders, a big bust, wide hips and a wide waist, or thin arms, thin thighs, and flat buttocks, you have this type of body. If you have a heavy body, you should avoid wearing huge clothes to cover your figure. Likewise, if you have a heavy body, avoid fitted clothes because your undesirable love handles will show. What to wear: 1. Tailored jackets, straight skirts, straight blouses or shirts and heavy fabrics 2. Small shoulder pads to add structure to your shoulders 3. Loose, V-neck or square blouses or shirts 4. Two different textures at abdomen level 5. Monochromatic tunics or tunic-type blouses and sweaters 6. Empire dresses, halter-type dresses with a V-neckline, preferably baggy at the bottom 7. Long jackets that cover the abdomen 8.

Degrees of suffering and discomfort have varied and we have probably all endured agonies, in some way, when constructing our appearance, in order to face the world. This could range from a simple cut from shaving, to the discomfort and pain of folding tender flesh into a girdle! These are only two, of numerous possible examples.

  • Glossary of Sewing Terms
    Glossary of Sewing Terms Judith Christensen Professional Patternmaker ClothingPatterns101 Why Do You Need to Know Sewing Terms? There are quite a few sewing terms that you’ll need to know to be able to properly follow pattern instructions. If you’ve been sewing for a long time, you’ll probably know many of these terms – or at least, you know the technique, but might not know what it’s called. You’ll run across terms like “shirring”, “ease”, and “blousing”, and will need to be able to identify center front and the right side of the fabric. This brief glossary of sewing terms is designed to help you navigate your pattern, whether it’s one you purchased at a fabric store or downloaded from an online designer. You’ll find links within the glossary to “how-to” videos or more information at ClothingPatterns101.com Don’t worry – there’s no homework and no test! Just keep this glossary handy for reference when you need it! 2 A – Appliqué – A method of surface decoration made by cutting a decorative shape from fabric and stitching it to the surface of the piece being decorated. The stitching can be by hand (blanket stitch) or machine (zigzag or a decorative stitch). Armhole – The portion of the garment through which the arm extends, or a sleeve is sewn. Armholes come in many shapes and configurations, and can be an interesting part of a design. B - Backtack or backstitch – Stitches used at the beginning and end of a seam to secure the threads. To backstitch, stitch 2 or 3 stitches forward, then 2 or 3 stitches in reverse; then proceed to stitch the seam and repeat the backstitch at the end of the seam.

  • Water Management in Leather Industry
    Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research Vol. 60, June 2001, pp 443-450 Water Management in Leather Industry V John Sundar, R Ramesh, PS Rao, P Saravanan, B Sridharnath and C Muralidharan Central Leather Research Institute, Adyar, Chennai 600 020, India Received: 02 June 2000; accepted: 10 November 2000 Leather industry, like paper and textile industries, consumes large quantities of water. Such excessive usage, resulting from adoption of traditional processing methods and equipments, lead to acute water availability and eftluent treatment problems. Presently, about 30 billion litres of water is being used by this industry annually. A systematic study made at CLRI to reduce the excessive usage and further minimise water consumption in leather processing through optimisation and recycle and reuse strategies. The role of newer equipments, such as the hide processor and th e compartmental drum in minimising water usage in leather processing has also been studied extensively. Most of the protocols standardised at CLRI were implemented at select tanneries in Indi a and Sri Lanka, which resulted in better water management in the leather processing industry. The results of such detailed studies have been incorporated in the paper. Introduction vation efforts. The major responsibility, however, falls Water utilisation by mankind may be divided into three on the industry. broad categories, agricultural, domestic and industrial. Apparently, there is no dearth of water as 80 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by water. Even then, the Water Usage in Leather Industry world is heading towards a water crisis because 97.5 per cent of the global water reserve is salt water and only Water is an important medium in leather processing.

  • General Pests
    Kentucky Pesticide Education Program copyright © 2016 University of Kentucky Department of Entomology General Pests Written by: Michael F. Potter and G. Mark Beavers Ants Ants are the most frequent and persistent pests encountered around homes and buildings. Dozens of different species occur around homes and buildings, each has unique characteristics that may influence the most effective control method to use. In Kentucky, the most common house-invading ants include pavement ants, carpenter ants, acrobat ants, and odorous house ants. Besides being a nuisance, ants contaminate food, build unsightly mounds, or cause structural damage by hollowing out wood for nesting. Most species of these social insects live in belowground colonies. Exceptions include carpenter ants and acrobat ants that live in moist wood. Some species enter buildings in search of sweet or fatty substances. Others live in lawns and gardens or under rocks, patios, or sidewalks. While many of these species do not enter buildings, the mounds of fine soil that they bring to the surface while excavating can be a nuisance. Wingless worker ant with elbowed antennae and narrow waist between thorax and abdomen. (www.antark.net) Ants range from less than 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch long. Most have black bodies but some are yellow or red. All have chewing mouthparts. Ants undergo complete metamorphosis with 4 life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Ants are social insects that live in cooperative, intermingling colonies consisting of hundreds to thousands of individuals. There are different types of individuals (castes) in each colony that perform specific functions. All ant colonies contain one or more egg-laying queens.

  • About Leather Types of Leather
    About Leather Types of Leather Leather is an ancient, durable material created through a process of tanning animal rawhide to preserve it and make it pliable when dry. Many features of natural leather make it superior to synthetic products including durability, comfort, beauty, suppleness, and resilience. Plus, leather’s ability to patina and absorb body oils continues to enhance the leather’s appearance and makes it more beautiful over time. Leather can broadly be divided into full grain, enhanced grain, corrected grain, top grain and split leathers. Full Grain Leather Full grain leather has no surface alterations. The hide’s natural pores and grain textures are intact and it will develop a patina over time. The tiny pinholes dotting the surface indicate the hide’s open hair follicles. The presence of these hair follicles demonstrates a high quality surface which has not been altered to conceal flaws. This full grain surface breathes. It keeps the user Full grain comfortable as it adjusts to body temperature. Full grain leather is the highest quality, most beautiful, and most comfortable leather available. Enhanced Grain Leather Enhanced grain leather is a full grain with an artificial grain embossed over the natural grain. Enhanced grain leather has the same comfort and breathability of a full grain, but the surface has received minor alteration to improve grain Enhanced grain appearance. Corrected Grain Leather Corrected grain leather is produced from the upper portion of the hide. The surface is lightly sanded or refined then embossed with an artificial grain texture. Corrected grain leathers have a more consistent appearance across the entire surface.
