I have a question about using the column of colour to look taller (as a curvy petite H shape ) – should I only wear darker tops, avoiding white or cream tops ?
There are two major ways to wear a column of colour, on the outside, or on the inside.

Hi, what do you recommend for I / rectangular shapes? Thanks much.
Hi Imogen,
I’m with trace; which would you suggest for the short-legged I shape? Hmm, I guess if I’m trying to hide my little tummy, I should follow the H,O, V shape. Right?
I’d go an inner column if hiding your tummy is what you want to achieve – I think it also has the most lengthening effect too (which is great for short legs).
Hi! How should I think if the bust is the area I want to draw least attention to? Inside or outside? I am X shape (with some O tendency) and with full bust (32FF).
Interesting reply Imogen – I usually do the column of colour on the outside, so need to rethink it on the inside to suit my (H) shape and when I want to do it for lighter months. ThANKS.
Very good information and graphics; wonderful site!
