Useful silhouette labels for a clothing swap
| Our neighbourhood group is preparing a clothing exchange. We have jackets, skirts and trousers in several sizes, and the usual size labels tell only part of the story. Some pieces are structured while others drape freely. I came across body shape and colour analysis while looking for ways to describe these differences. My preference is to label the garment instead of the wearer. We could start by describing the shoulder line. Waist shaping and fabric weight might belong on the cards too. The descriptions would leave every section open to every guest. I worry that style system jargon would make the signs less clear. We will have a mirror and a changing area, but volunteers cannot give personal styling consultations. Any labels need to make sense quickly and help visitors decide what they would like to try. Which plain descriptions would you find most useful at a swap? |
