Sewing a dress, NEED to add stripping. Im short and not skinny, I cannot do vertical lines either HLP?
I am making a jingle dress so I need to add ribbons to hang the cones on. I know horizontal lines are choppy and will make me look shorter and wider… This is exactly what I want to avoid. I cannot do vertical lines because then there is nothing to hang the cones on. So im considering either diagonal or A or V which would suit my body type best? I want to appear taller and slimmer.
This person did the diagonals, so you can see that it could be a good alternative. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/JingleDress1.jpg/180px-JingleDress1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_dress&h=408&w=180&sz=31&hl=en&start=4&sig2=LI2nEXuJyvxCuritfEKzAg&um=1&tbnid=qfHBloVFV8W75M:&tbnh=125&tbnw=55&ei=vUKiSMf5AZ2uoQSsm8zLDw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Djingle%2Bdress%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
This one did Vs in back (and probably front too). I think that would have a slimming effect. http://cache.virtualtourist.com/1604651-Indian_Child_In_Jingle_Dress-Cody.jpg
