Tips to Market Handcrafted Jewelry Handcrafted Earrings Handmade Bracelets

Posted on by admin

Do you want to start your own handcrafted jewelry business? Making handcrafted jewelry, unique earrings and handcrafted bracelets can be easier than learning how to sell, where to sell and at what price to sell your unique jewelry. Marketing, advertising and promoting your new company is an obstacle many cannot overcome. Many people give up when just starting out because of the frustration. Here are some easily accomplished steps to build your handcrafted jewelry business and put you on the road to success.

First of all, and most important, is to create truly unique jewelry. Experiment with techniques and materials until you find the right combination that suits you. The most successful jewelry artisans have their own style that draws customers to them. Finding you own niche, expressing your individual style and creativity is key to making your handcrafted jewelry business a success.

Secondly, choose your target market to gain maximum exposure for your handmade jewelry. What age group does your handcrafted jewelry attract? This is a good pricing indicator. A younger age group will require lower prices while a middle age group is looking for more sophisticated looks and can afford a higher price range.

Trial and error is sometimes the best method for pricing. Estimate how much a pair of handmade earrings or handmade bracelets costs you to actually make. Double the cost for your wholesale jewelry price and double that again for your retail price is the general rule. Look around at other handcrafted jewelry artists offering similar products to see if your price falls into the same range. If not, you may have to re-think your pricing.

Local craft shows are a great way to start in the handmade jewelry business. Check your Chamber of Commerce for an event schedule in your area. Talk with other craftspeople to find other craft shows and art festivals that they recommend. Slowly build a schedule of shows. Pay attention to what your customers are looking for and try to focus on their needs. Satisfied customers will be your best advertising.

Internet marketing for handcrafted jewelry artisans is growing quickly and it is easy to set up a free or relatively inexpensive website at many handcrafted specialty sites. Building an online presence can take a lot of time and effort which will be worthwhile eventually. Do not depend on immediate sales as it takes time to become established online.

Start slow with baby steps gradually building your customer base. Not every show will be a huge success but bit by bit you will learn all the things you need to know to make your handcrafted jewelry business a success.

Not everyone can be an artist and a salesperson. Luckily there are many wholesale jewelry suppliers who specialize in handmade jewelry and handcrafted artisan jewelry. Check out their websites and see if their wholesale products fall into the niche you have decided upon. Whether it is horse jewelry, cat jewelry, wildlife jewelry or Native American jewelry designs, you are sure to find wholesale jewelry suppliers who have the perfect handcrafted jewelry for your target market.

Costume Jewelry – A Popular Piece Throughout History

Posted on by admin

There’s virtually no difference among antique jewelry and costume jewelry. Costume Jewelry dates back to the 1930s. From the concept of antique that is going to also make the item antique. Even so, the majority jewelry professionals have come to agree with the fact that antique jewelry pre-dates the 1930s.

Costume Jewelry came into being in the 1930s being a inexpensive disposable jewelry intended to be put on together with a special wardrobe, but is not meant to be passed down with generations. It was designed to be in vogue for a brief period of time, fall out of fashion, and after that be repurchased to fit a whole new wardrobe purchase, as well as with a new fashion style. It grew to become available in vast amounts throughout the thirties.

Cheap jewelry of course existed before the 1930s. Paste or glass jewelry as far back as the 18th century. The rich had their fine jewelry copied for various factors, utilizing paste or glass stones. Through the mid 1800s with the growth on the middle class there was at this point various qualities of jewelry being manufactured implementing fine, semi-precious and base elements. Fine jewelry of gold, diamonds, fine gems just like emeralds and sapphires went on being manufactured. Bracelets produced from rolled gold, which is known as a thin coating of gold mounted to a base metal, moved into the market for the middle class. This kind of jewelry had been typically set with semi-precious jewels for instance amethyst, coral or perhaps pearls, and therefore had been even more cost-effective. Next there was jewelry in which virtually anyone could have the funds for, consisting of glass stones and base metals designed to appear to be gold. All 3 forms were meant to become transferred to upcoming generations.

Generally there are indications that will help somebody determine what period a piece of jewelry is from; theme, materials, the type of item. By way of example dress clips came in within the 1930s and then ended up out of style by the 50s. Jewelry demonstrates types, creations, hues as well as gemstones from the years. For example from 1910 to 1930 silver had been the popular coloration pertaining to metal, therefore jewelry seen in platinum, white gold, silver or a base metal was tinted to appear like silver. By WWII, gold ended up being trendy once again but in little supply, as it had been essential to the world war effort. What gold had been accessible ended up being made into very lean sheets and, sometimes glued onto silver (called vermeil) before being becoming jewelry. Through the 1930s rhinestones reputation was ever increasing within European countries. It has not been designed for the Us citizens before 40s. Therefore, most of the items out of this period of time often include plenty of metal along with a single stone or possibly a little bunch of very small rhinestones.

Today is probably not much different from earlier periods. We all continue to have fine jewelry, semi-precious jewelry, of course costume jewelry accessible to us. Costume jewelry can bring the final touch and present your fashion sense. Costume Jewelry fashion of earlier years are actually becoming very fashionable and several are increasingly being produced. Even with costume jewelry there exists a distinction in level of quality. New pieces would not have the vibrance within the gemstones or perhaps the weight with the mature items.

Vintage and antique costume jewelry are both enjoyable to collect and pleasurable to dress in. No more is costume jewelry only collectable, It really is in style, and trendy, and a fantastic chat beginner. Dress to impress!

GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN MAHESH DATTANI`S PLAY `TARA`

Posted on by admin

GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN MAHESH DATTANI`S `TARA` BY DR. RAM SHARMA, SENIOR LECTURER IN ENGLISH, J.V.P.G COLLEGE, BARAUT, BAGHPAT, U.P., INDIA

Mahesh Dattani has presented the bizarre reality of the woman playing second fiddle to man.This play opens with Chandan changed into Dan in order to absolve himself from the guilt of killing his sister.He has to bear the brunt of his grandfather`s and mother`s cruelty .He considers himself responsible for his sister`s death. In this play Dattani plays with the idea of female infanticide that is prevalent among the Gujratis and also suggests Patel`s hegemonic patriarchy when he insists that proper division in the gender roles be made Tara gives us a glimpse into the modern society which claims to be liberal and advanced in its thought and action. In a society which claims that its mothers are educated today and have `Devis ` like Durga, Kali, Saraswati , Lakshmi etc whom not only women but men also pay obeisance , differentiate between a male child and a female child.All the propagandas of equality between male and female , equal opportunities to women in all the fields are belied..Dattani`s deep preoccupation with gender issues leads to the emergence of the idea of the twin side to one`s self -quite literally embodied in one body and the separation that follows Mahesh Dattani mentioned in one of his interviews with Lakshmi Subramanyam : “I see Tara as a play about the male self and female self.The male self is being preferred in all cultures .The play is about the separation of self and the resultant angst“[p-134]1

.Erin Mee writes in the note of the play,

“Tara centres on the emotional separation that grows between two conjoined twins following the discovery that their physical separation was manipulated by their mother and grandfather to favour the boy[ Chandan] over the girl [ Tara] .Tara , a feisty girl who isn`t given the opportunities given to her brother [although she may be smarter ] eventually wastes away and dies. Chandan escapes to London , changes his name to Dan , and attempts to repress the guilt he feels over his sister`s death by living without a personal history .Woven into the play are issues of class and community , and the clash between traditional and modern lifestyles and values.“ CP [p-319]2

Patel and Bharati are educted parents but they created new discriminations. Bharati`s father, a resourceful person , is also considered to be one of the factors in this mishap. If Bharati had been led astray by her father`s high handed decision , why didn`t Patel put his foot down and stand against their decision?Father should be strong enough to fight this discrimination.The relationship of Bharati and Tara , mother and daughter is subordinated to her subjugation to the expectations of the society .She has no free will and her compassion for Tara , proves weak in her preference for her son Chandan. She plans for the surgery for the separation of the children and determines to offer her kidney to give a new lease of life to Tara .When Chandan enquires her if she has any plans for Tara , Bharati says,

“Yes, I plans for her happiness .I mean to give her all love and affection which I can give .Its what she deserves have can make up for lot[ CP p-349]“3

Bharati is quite much fearful about the future of her daughter,

“It`s all right while she is young .It`s all very cute and comfortable when she makes witty remarks .But let her grow up .Yes ,Chandan the world will tolerate you. The world will accept you- but not her! Oh! The pair is going to feel when she sees herself at eighteen or twenty .Thirty is unthinkable and what about forty and fifty! Oh, God ! [ CP p-349]4

Bharati tries to shed her burden of guilt by showing maternal love and concern for her daughter and to assert her moral superiority over her husbandShe also tries to expatiate by the act of donating kidney to her daughter which was ultimately futile.Dattani establishes that mother and daughter relationship is ultimately subordinated to the directives of patriarchy .All cultures and all countries by establishing values , roles , gender perception and prescribe unequal means to achieve.Dr. Thakkar occupies the one on the highest level throughout the play.Tara and Chandan are conjoined, Siamese twins who must be separated to survive. The dichotomy between the twin `gendered` selves is recognized , and a physical separation is made through surgery “ Like we`ve always been.Inseperable .The way we started in life.Two lives and one body in one comfortable womb .Till we were forced out—- And separated“ [ CP p-325]5

The problem begin when it is recognized that it has been unequal , unfair operation , with the mother , Bharati, her father and the surgeon collaborating to afford the male with better chances , physically -the second leg.Dr. Thakkar , the god -like `life giver ` is aware that the third leg would adhere better to the female half , and yet becomes party to the decision..Dan tries to define his other half, the feisty Tara “ She never got a fair deal .Not even from nature.Neither of us did .May be God never wanted us separated .Destiny desires strange things—–But even God does not always get what he wants.Conflict is the crux of life“`[ CP p-330]6

Mr. Patel , an emblem of male chauvinism , maintains his absolute authority in the decision making about the family Bharati is a pathetic victim of patriarchy .She was exceptionally conscious for her safety for Tara , not for the sake of Tara but for her own sake.It was irony of fate that Chandan and Tara were entwined in such a way that their separation was impossible .Chandan enjoyed greater preference and Tara was left to enjoy the position of a subaltern. The effort to separate them through surgery left Tara cripple for life. The suffering of Tara and Chandan is a symbolic justification to the perception that the grace of the relationship exist not in their separateness but in their moving in a coordination or interdependence.The famous theatre director Erin Mee writes“

Dattani sees Tara as a play about the gendered self, about coming to terms with the feminine side of oneself in a world that always favours what is `male` , but many people in India see it as a play about the girl child.“ [ CP-p-320]7

Tara was more enthusiastic and full of jest and spark of life .She had high aspirations which she could not accomplish because of her handicapped state while the boy was comfortably ensconced and had come to terms with his handicapped life,Why was then Tara denied the privilege of the good leg. Why? Is it because she was a girl ? Is being a girl in the society a curse. Why so much partiality and differentiation done to women in the country which has rich heritage and where women are otherwise placed on the pedestral Dr. Thakkar belied his godly profession and led himself to be bribed by Bharati`s father into becoming an accomplice in the bizarre act of severing the leg. He should have upheld his profession by denouncing the decision at his inception whereas he in a way took Tara`s life by severing the leg. His wise decision could have given Tara a safe, secured and complete life.Patel , meanwhile seems much beleaguered “Yes, call me a liar, a wife beater, a child abuser.It`s what you want me to be! And you .You want them to believe you love them very much “ [ CP p-354]8

Again he tells Tara , “ Tara , please believe me when I say that I love you very much and I have never in all my life loved you less or more than I have loved your brother.But your mother—-“ [ CP-p-354]9

This is why the play generates a death like response from Tara when she learns the truth, she was discriminated against , because of her gender, but not by her father- it was Bharart`s decision that deprived her of what she wanted more than anything else in the world- a second leg.Bharati`s father further strengthened his indulgence for male grand child by leaving his property after his demise to Chandan and not a single penny to Tara. Chandan and Tara`s maternal grandfather was a wealthy man. He was in politics and came very close to becoming the Chief Minister.His will is a testament of the kind of treatment that is meted out to girls in Indian society.Mr. Patel and Chandan are talking,

“PATEL. He [ grandfather] left you a lot of money. CHANDAN . And Tara? PATEL . Nothing CHANDAN. Why? PATEL It was his money.He could do what he wanted with it.[CP p-360]10

Patel`s attitude has also been negative. He belames his wife and father-in-law for the damage done cannot be denied. The fact that male is always given the greater chance is obvious from Patel`s planning for Chandan`s education and future career.No consideration whatsoever for her feelings! Tara is the victim of this collective social system.Her father, Mr. Patel , is not much different from his wife , though Bharati is guilty of a more serious crime against Tara. He continuously and doggedly favours Chandan when it comes to giving him higher education abroad. , and a career.

“PATEL .You are turning them against the whole world. BHARATI I am doing that. PATEL . Yes ! Look at the way you treat Tara .As if she is made of glass. You coddle her , you pet her, you sdpoil her, She`s grown up feeling she doesn`t need anyone but you.! BHARATI. What d`you want me to do? Just tell me in plain simple words what you want me to do and i`ll do it! PATEL. Let go. Just let go.And let me handle them. BHARATI. All right .You stay at home then ! You stay at home and watch what they can do and what they can`t .You remind them of what they can`t be. It`s easy for you to talk about their future and your plans.But tell them what they should do now .This day , this hour , this minute .Tell them ! I want to hear.! PATEL. Chandan is going to study further and he will go abroad for his higher studies. BHARATI. And Tara? PATEL. When have you ever allowed me to make any plans for her? [ CP p-352]11

But Tara could have made her defiency , her strength and fight the society to etch a place of her own.Tara is discoraged openly, notwithstanding her feelings in the matter , even though she is more intelligent , sharp and witty and would perform well if given ooportunities in life. Economic and cultural factors have been responsible for the antipathy against and inferiorization of the girl child .All these factors combine to create the social system in which the girl child has to live and die.Tara is killed by social system , which controls the minds and actions of the people.The trauma of coming to know the role her mother had played in her life , and the discrimination become too much for her. And why is she killed? Tara is not wanted. Girls are not wanted.

“TARA. Oh! What a waste! A waste of money .What spend all the money to keep me alive?It cannot matter whether I live or die. There are thousands of poor sick people on the roads who could be given care and attention , and I think I know what I will make of myself.I will be a crer for those people .I —- I will spend the rest of my life feeding and clothing those. —-starving naked millions everywhere is talking about.May be I can start an institution that will —- do all that.Or I could join Mother Teresa and sacrifice muself to a great cause.That may give— purpose to my —existence .I can do it .I can do it , can`t I ?I will be very happy if I could , because that is really what I want .That really —[with emotion].Oh! , bullshirt! I don`t care .I don`t care for anyone except mummy! [ CP- p-370]12

The above statement shows that Tara is not deterred by the injustice done to her by her parents but she presents herself as an empowered lady to face all the hurdles.She also shows her sympathy towards the downtrodden.She was bubbly and energetic girl who had all the qualities of a normal girl. If she had been given moral support by her parents .She might have shone like a star as her name signifies. Her life was a burden on this earth .This made her lose interest in life altogether .Further she refuses to go to physiotherapy or fill forms for college.

TARA.. How do you expect me to feel anything for anyone if they don`t give me any feeling to begin with? Why is it wrong for me to be without feeling? Why are you asking me to do something that nobody has done for me?[ CP p-371]`13`

Tara was a bright and shinning star which was a source of cheerfulness and happiness of the family.A complete life could have done wonders and she would have scored the limits which her brother Chandan couldn`t have.Tara`s potentiality was sacrificed on the alter of gender. Identity crisis becomes a chain with which a female is fettered when the question of choice between male and female arises.

“ TARA The hospital staff. At the reception , they asked me who I wanted to see. I told them. They asked me to wait .One of the nurses passing by recognized me .She drew the receptionist aside and spoke to her in a low voice .She thought I couldn`t hear what she was saying .But I heard ! She told her that she had received strict instructions from our father that I shouldn`t on any account be allowed to see mummy on my own .[Pause] Now tell me i`m imagining things .Tell me that he doesn`t hate me! [ CP p-373]14

It is noteworthy that discrimination against Tara continues even after her death.Chandan , who was always interested in writing , and who has come to England for higher studies , has transferred into Dan .He turns the story he writes into his own tragedy. Dan apologises to Tara for doing this “Forgive me , Tara .Forgive me for making it my tragedy.“`[ CP p-380]15

In the end I can say that Mahesh Dattani has very deftly revealed the theme of gender discrimination in this play.

The size for example her first organized (which can be found in bags, shoes, jewelry after clothing) and then planned turn Oct. 5 into a free-standing Robertson Boulevard store, known as Monika Chiang, this all seem gutsy. (A New York build up is scheduled and moreover open later this fall.) Chiang is a fundamental fashion musician and performer newbie, and an infant economy is also still shaky.

But the person has a sheet of solid financial backing from a J. Christopher Capital, owned precisely what Christopher Burch. If newborn name seems to be familiar, it truly is probably depending on his economic involvement enclosing another kind line, designed exactly what his ex-wife Tory, one of many whose a business he remains deck co-chairman.

Needed Tools For Garment Pattern Making

Posted on by admin

For those who love to sew clothing and have experience with published patterns, the next logical step is doing your own garment pattern making. The ability to make patterns is a skill that is useful whether you simply sew for yourself for the enjoyment of the craft and to have tailored clothing that fits your shape perfectly, or you sew for others for enjoyment or income. It is essential if you desire to pursue a career in fashion design.

Garment pattern making often begins with creating a pattern from articles of clothing that you like and that fit you well. Once you have that basic pattern, variations of it can be created for entirely new designs with different necklines, sleeve types, pant or skirt lengths, etc. It can be done on paper to start, though many use inexpensive muslin cloth to baste into a prototype to try on to ensure proper fit. Beginning with that single customized pattern, an entire wardrobe can be designed.

There are many pattern making books, software programs, classes, and online courses available to help get you started. Regardless of where or how you learn the basic skills or improve your current skills, having the right tools for the job are a necessity. Having the right tools for the job in sewing and pattern making, like any other endeavor, will make the job easier and the end result will look and fit better.

Of course, you will need the basic sewing tools: quality scissors and pinking shears, snippers to cut thread and notch fabric, seam ripper, a variety of machine needles and hand-sewing needles, dressmaker pins, pin cushion, safety pins, and iron for pressing seams and darts. In addition, you will need to add a few more items. A tape measure is needed for accurate fittings. You will need curves to draw curved hips, hems, and other curved areas. To draw armholes and necklines, you will want a French curve.

To mark muslin and paper, you will need a tracing wheel and tracing paper. To transfer pattern markings, marking hem lines, and cutting bias, use chalk wheels and/or a water soluble marker, making sure to test the fabric to make sure the markings will come completely out. Clear gridded rulers will make it easy to add seam allowances.

Using “dot” paper will make your garment pattern making much easier than using unmarked paper, helping to keep your grainlines and angle accurate. Additionally, clear tape will be helpful for modifying patterns. With these basic tools, you are ready to begin creating your own patterns!

Tie Dye Patterns How To Create 6 Different Designs

Tie Dye, as the name suggests is a process of dyeing fabrics after you tie them in a manner that gives beautiful designs on the material. This can be done by anyone and it is a great hobby activity.

The patterns you create depend on how you fold your material. The process of tie dye involves folding the material and then tying at various portions using strings. Then, the dye is applied to the fabric. The dye does not reach the areas that are tied with rubber bands or strings. So here, folding the material is the key. Basically, how you fold your fabric and the colors you use will determine the design on the final product. So, you must first fix up what kind of designs you wish to create. Designs can be circular, stripes and random designs. Random designs include items like butterfly, flower, leaves, diamonds, rosettes, squares, and ovals. Let us discuss some patters you can create:

1.Knot Tying: This pattern is ideal to work on light materials and long sleeves. You have to carefully twist the fabric first from both ends like a rope and tighten it. Then, you can fasten using strings. You can tie many even knots you need on the fabric, depending on your design. This pattern will give you fine lines.

2.Pleats: Lay the garment flat and using your hands pinches it to get folds on the material. Continue creating these folds on the entire fabric. You could change the size of the folds on both hands or on one hand to get the required design. Fasten the folds several times tightly and knot the strings. This is one of the basic tie dye patterns that can be used for making diamonds, squares, ovals or any symmetrical design.

3.Spirals: You create spiral pattern by gathering a section of the fabric using your thumb or a fork rotating it to create pleats in swirls all around the center. Get the loose ends within the circle and flatten the fabric using your palm. It will resemble a pancake. Take rubber bands and slide them over the cloth without disturbing the design. Let the rubber bands meet at the center. You can use various colors and the spiral created on the material looks stunning.

4.Electric Bunching: Bring together the ends of the fabric in bunches and shape it in the form of a ball. Fasten it well with rubber bands and try and retain the shape. Then dye it. This gives the pattern of electric light or lightening-like design.

5.Rosettes: Make dots on the fabric as the center of the rosette. Pick the dots together and at the base of the circles tie them up with strings. Wrap very well to the tip.

6.Stripes: To make stripes you must roll the garment loosely and get it together like a tube. You will get vertical stripes on the tube. Tie them at various intervals depending on how close you want the stripes. Using strings, tie several times very tightly. Apply dye by either immersing the garment or squirting colors on it.

Listed above are only a few basic tie dye patterns. You can create countless designs depending on the patterns you select.

One of the scary things that can ever happen in your life is to fall deeply in love with the wrong person.If heartbreak is painful, so as love without commitment.

Although you are facing with such dilemma, it is important to note those men commitment issues that hinder them to bravely face the relationship until the end.

Unable to date more than 1 woman – It is part of men’s nature to desire dating more than 1 woman. Therefore, when commitment is part of the relationship a man decides to enter, dating moments with multiples girls is such a NO!Of course, it is necessary to be a one woman man. For men, especially the cowardly, commitment really scare them because they feel they are just kept controlled in the relationship; and that they feel they are stopped to go and date many girls.

They fear unpleasant things in the relationship – This is common among men during a break from work where some co-workers tell them about their complaints of their married life, or their friends during a night out who also have the same complaint that they are made to follow certain standards in marriage/relationship. What they also get is those ugly moments in the relationship added the fact that their lives have to be adjusted and changes and added responsibility.So what happens is that men opt to stay in a dating relationship as in without strings attached. Money problems – Since men are very ego centered type of person, they always see to it that they are stable financially to be able to give the needs of the partner and the family.Men is considered a provider, and when they are into a lifetime committed relationship, they anticipate the fact that a responsibility is placed on them to provide financially. So if the man believes that his work is still starting and he is still financially unstable, commitment is not a top priority at this time. Dependent – One thing that men think about commitment is the idea of being completely independent in terms of deciding and solving problems.But, most men are dependent in such a way that when they are reared with very supportive parents, they generally feel so secured that whatever they do and when it fails, their parents will be there to support them. When they will commit into a certain relationship, they feel as though they will be changed as a whole which is why they disregard saying I LOVE YOU or WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Promises are meant to be broken – There are women who believe that their men are honest when they say they want to be in a committed relationship, and somewhere in the relationship men change and decide that a fully committed relationship is not for them; frustration, hurt and depression happen in women.

Past bad experiences – When a man has emotional damage, it is highly related to faulty family relationship and bad experiences in the relationship.It is actually difficult for a man when he had bad experiences before as trust was also crashed, thus commitment is a process to really take time before trying.

It is for every women’s perspective on how they can solve the problem and get through with men commitment issues, and it is also for every men’s perspective on whether to commit or not. However, the issues are not just meant to be solved but also to realize the need for responsibility, independence, maturity, firmness and stability. So when men know that they are not responsible enough, it’s time to become one; and when they know they are unprepared to become independent, it’s time to decide on simple things.Sometimes, the truth is telling us that we cannot learn to take control in our lives if we will not ourselves to be one.Remember, nothing beats the beauty of the relationship as you can be forever happy with someone you believe you are destined to be forever.

Butt And Hip Pads To Achieve A Plus Size Fashion Look!

Posted on by admin

Beyonce may be all things trendy and normally looks absolutely gorgeous, however has she made a big mistake wearing a dress which makes accentuates her hips and bottom quite so much?

One of the latest fashions trends may be have hip and butt pads but surely the whole point to make them larger so that you can really swing when you walk not appear as if something nasty is going on under your dress!

What is also strange is that TV fashion gurus are advising women to buy underwear which has been designed to pull tummies in, smooth thighs and lift bottoms! A real contradiction in styles!

Fashion trends are often bizarre at the best of times and while most women with large hips do everything they possibly can to hide and disguise them, they will be pleased, one assumes, that slimmer women are trying to copy the sassy walk large hipped women achieve so very naturally!

Fashion history has over the years seen some strange happenings under ladies clothes, dating right back to when no women of substance would ever dream of wearing a dress or skirt without a large hoop inside to make them appear very slim waisted.

The bustle was another style trend which in some ways you could say the latest butt pads are trying to emulate. Rather then having pads on their backside to make them appear neater and yet more emphasised the bustles were adorned with large bows and ribbons while the rest of the dress was figure hugging tight, with waists lines being pulled in with whale bone corsets.

Throughout history fashion trends have tried to push and pull women’s figure into what were and continue to be, the ideal body shapes. From 18 inch waists in the 50’s, the bustier which push bosoms up so high they look as if they will spill over the top as in some cases actually do-intentionally or not -as in Nell Gwen’s era and wide shoulder pads seen in the 70’s!

Women, no matter what shape or size, have throughout history tried to show off their smaller assets by making them, for the most part larger!

And yet it is only relatively recently that fashion designers are creating designs specifically for the plus size fashion market. This in itself is rather bizarre, but a welcome relief for plus size women. High street stores are gradually realising that large women also want to be trendy and chic without paying an fortune for their clothes and the plus size rails are gradually being displayed in more prominent parts of the store at long last!
