2. Introduction
Comfort is the prime concern in fashion clothing.
Being fashionable doesn't mean to be vulgar or
over dressed. Dressing up yourself with unique
style statement, understanding the body type and
other features and enhancing them to give that X
factor to your fashion attitude is the key to be a
fashion follower and a trendsetter. Moving to
the opposite direction ends up yourself as a
fashion disaster.
Further discussion in this
presentation will give you a makeover to your
fashion vision and help you understand the
technical and functional ideas to be fashionable.
The right amount of push in the right direction will
give you the best result for the fashion diva in
