On-or-off the shoulder?

Women always ask me why I design with the on-or–off the shoulder neckline shape so often…there are several reasons that I have learned over years, by studying the feminine body from all angles!  


A wider neckline actually makes the rest of the body look smaller!!!! Crazy right? It also creates the illusion of a smaller waistline, balances the hips to give an hourglass silhouette, and frames the face. 

Now to our friends the shoulders...Did you know that the shoulders are one of the last body parts to age? Most women have lovely skin on their shoulders, and this neckline emphasizes it. If you have small shoulders, they will look larger and if you have wide shoulders, it will show them off.  Think of your neckline as the perfect accessory to make these looks even more fabulous!

So focus on the positive, show off that neckline, and give your face a beautiful frame!
