Collaboration #2 Fashion and Art ABCStorytelling

 My second Collaboration was with Anietha Charles (ABCStorytelling ) she is  an excellent illustrator she also loves graphic and fashion designing. Our collaboration was quite easy we both wanted to do a trendy child garment with painting. My job was to sew the dress, hers was to add the magic touch of the painting on the dress. 

These are some pic of the child dress before and during the painting process.

Fake it to Flatter it: Tip #3 Swimwear

  Casual stretch tops as Tankini tops 

We all have preferences when it comes to swimwear, whether they are bikinis (two-Piece), one-piece, tankinis or monokinis. Even though many of us likes the bikini we often opt form wearing it because of our tummy, one solution is to wear a tankini however at times there can be challenges when it comes to choosing a style or finding your correct size.  

Tip:  you can purchase casual stretch tops with straps and use them as tankini top, this will ensure you have your personal style, and the correct size and fit.

 

I do hope you have enjoyed style to suit your shape swimwear, explore your options with swimwear, knowing  your body shape makes it lots easier to find clothing that fits you well.  

Swim With Me: Your Shape part #2

Swimwear for  full  Tummy

Looking for a swimwear that will make your tummy look flat can be daunting. Here are some the things you can look for:

A swimwear with built-in tummy control panel which give a flatter appearance to the tummy. Fabric with texture fools the eye, drawing attention to the fabric as opposed to the tummy.     Bikinis with high waistband with added shirring or folds, this will give more coverage to you tummy.
