Fit for a princess- Apparel design I

Hey there!

So princesses have been on my mind as of late... Maybe I just need to watch a Disney movie or something. But the person isn't quite what I'm meaning, it's the seam! A princess seam. These have been coming in and out of style during the past few decades, and they're at a lull as of this season. However, they have many great qualities, and I think they should be worn more often! For one thing, they are super stylish! Bordering on asymmetrical, they add some cool visual interest that not many garments nowadays have- because we are focusing on clean silhouettes. These seams go down the middle of the shoulder into the waist seam or all the way down the dress, depending on what kind of garment you are looking at. They can be put in shirts or dresses, any kind of tops really. Another great thing about them, is they're great for fitting! Because they pull in right over the bust and through the midsection and the hips at the same time, they have the ability to be altered to one's body shape just by adjusting that one seam- which will give you a better fitting garment :) so let me show you some cool princess seam garments!
  
I think that white bridal gown is just gorgeous, and see how much more of a fitted look you can get with these really cool seams? And I love the leather jacket, the seam gives you a cool texture and it makes the garment more interesting without distracting from it's simplicity.
I hope this has shed some light on a not so well known type of seam, and I hope it encourages you to look for a garment with these and perhaps try it on and see how well it fits ;) Vivre la mode, tout le monde!
