At 5-foot, 2-inches tall, Jean is in the petite height range. Her figure is an hour-glass type, being as wide in the shoulder as hips, with a narrow & defined waist. You wouldn't know it to look at the clothes she wore before though...Jean was hiding!

How did Jean enhance her natural beauty to look thinner, younger and taller?

• A shorter jacket gives Jean the appearance of better balance and longer legs.
• When a jacket ends where the hip is widest, it adds focus to hip width. With a hem that sits at the right height, Jean's hips look more narrow.
• A soft and unstructured jacket fabric made Jean look larger in the middle. Her new jacket has structure, a tapered waist and angled pockets that accentuate her own waistline.
• Wider lapels will draw the eye outward toward Jean's shoulders, enhancing her "X" shape, framing the v-neck top and Jean's lovely face.
• The putty color of the old jacket washed out Jean's skin color, making it look sallow and older. The soft turquoise from Jean's Style Profile color palettes brightens and clarifies the look of Jean's skin and brings out the vibrant colors in her eyes. Jean looks younger and refreshed.
• The v-neck is an ideal neck type for Jean and makes her neck look long and elegant. That v-neck also helps to place central focus on the body vertically, making Jean look taller and more streamlined, as does the bright contrast between her jacket and top.
• The matching turquoise jewelry accessories strengthen the aspects of color and line in the "after" picture.
• By going to a darker-colored, narrow shaped skirt with a waistline that sits on the waist (not lower) and, by tucking in her top, Jean has slimmed and given feminine shape to her hips, while adding visual length to her legs.
• Very subtle make-up and soft highlights in her hair bring out the warmth in her skin and eyes.
• A new side part in Jean's hair, brings focus to the "masculine side" of her softer-featured face. Doing this helps to give Jean's face a more defined look.

Is this a make-over or just a natural make-better? You decide. This is the same lovely woman in both pictures, but now Jean understands that looking really great is easy... when you've got a little stylish advice!
