Mannequin #1 (Casual Outfit): mauve cardigan with zipper front, tan suede jacket with snaps, tan whiskered corduroy jeans, white t-shirt
Rules:
- One quality piece of outerwear, like a suede jacket, makes a great impression.
- Shorter jackets and pants with a slightly higher rise in the thigh will make the legs look longer, without putting an emphasis on wearing a high heel.
- Tan is the neutral color, as opposed to black.
Mannequin #2 (Sophisticated Look): ivory cotton trench coat, green top with center slash, tab-front navy pinstripe jean, burgundy round-toe shoes, burgundy bag
Rules:
- Find trench coats that are not too long, i.e. appropriate for her short height.
- Show only a touch of skin above the cleavage, not the whole cleavage.
- Pin stripe trousers give an authoritative look.
- Burgundy can be a neutral, and matched with one other color. Don't just use black as a neutral.
Mannequin #3 (Evening or Dressy Day): red leather jacket, black collared knit shirt, black skirt with fish tail pleat, tweed/black heels.
Rules:
- Skirts must hit slightly above the knee or to the knee, not as high as mid-thigh.
- The "fingertip rule" is NOT valid (that rule being: the skirt is long enough if it reaches the fingertips wihen the arms are straight).
- Use sophisticated color palettes — not just red and black, but also ivory.
- For a big chest: don't choose knit wear that is bulky or tightly ribbed. Those will make you look big.
