Principles of Coordination – Principle of Volume

By Imogenl @ImogenLamport

In this video I talk about one of the Principles of Co-ordination – that of the Principle of Volume.  It’s an important principle to remember as too much fabric will swamp us and can make you look larger.  Being overwhelmed by fabric (this is particularly important if you are petite) will make you look tiny.

I remember once going through a client’s wardrobe and discovering that the reason she had so much trouble getting dressed and putting together outfits, was that all her clothes were voluminous and just didn’t work together.  We had to go shopping to find some slimmer/fitted tops to go with her more voluminous bottoms, and some slim fitting jeans and trousers to work with your baggier tops.
