Many times as sewing professionals, clients want us to design and make dresses for them or sometimes they ask to see sketches of dresses we have so that they can pick styles from there or sometimes they just come with their fabric and ask us what we think would be best for them2use d fabric for..

If its a client you have worked with for a while, you would somehow already kno their dos and don'ts so it might be slightly easier to figure out a style for them. But for first time clients it might pose a bit of a challenge especially clients who have body frames that are different from those of your regular clients or people you have designed outfits for....

However, knowledge on the various styles lines can make the process of designing or figuring out what to do with the client's fabric to be much easier. ....

HERE ARE THE VARIOUS STYLE LINES .....

LET'S START WITH A WAISTLESS STYLE LINE;

This basically means that the dress would have no waistline at all....
It has d advantage of making the client appear taller and thinner by hidding the waistline and minimizing a broad figure. ..

HIGH WAISTED STYLE LINES;

they make the upper body appear shorter while broadening and emphasizing waist area.
- It would also make leg line appear longer especially for clients that are not particularly tall ..

-Camouflages the tummy.
please note that for style lines that are between the empire waistline and the navel, do not add tucks, especially for clientss withbbig tummy because it would form a bilge right there and make their tummy appear bigger...

LOW WAISTED STYLE LINES;
I think this is one of the best style lines for women with petite body frames...
It broadens the hip area, tuus makin them appear "hippier"...
- it also makes the figure appear long waisted by lowering the waistline.
