The Rules of the Art
"Learn the rules like a professional so you can break them like an artist", Pablo Picasso
Foundation (pant length)
The Break
Rule: Hem should rest lightly on the shoe, hitting ½ inch above the heel.
Look: Clean lines - no bunching.
Your Move: Wear the shoes you plan to pair with them. Pin or tape the hem where it kisses the laces.
Shirt (arm length)
The Drop
Rule: End at wrist break, touching base of hand when arm is relaxed.
Look: Allows for 1/2 inch above wrist.
Your Move: Hands at your side, pin or tape length and take photo.
Waist (Pants or Skirt
Rule: Comfortable on garment's intended rise (waist/hips), no belt needed. Two fingers between waist band and body.
Look: Smooth against body. No "muffin" top or sloppy gaps. Show natural curve.
Your Move: Pin or tape length extra fabric and take photo.
* We never cut garments; all hand sewn so you can always alter.
