"Aloha. I'm Lady K. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village and I'm here to talk to you about some basic modeling. Modeling women's clothing is very important to know how to do. The outfit I have on right now is a simple pair of pants and a simple top, a little angle to it. For example, wearing a short formal dress, you want to make sure it is tight in the top, fits well. You can either have the skirt go out or go down straight. If it's too tight you get a bulge, and the bulge makes you look chubby. If it's too low then it makes it look like you have no length to your legs and your torso is too long. It's always best to try to make sure that the top and the bottom connect at a certain point. What is too high up at the wrong angle, directly on, you can actually look like you have a bulge. You want to make sure that it's correctly placed on top of each other. To look away, some prefer to look directly at the camera, making sure that the outfit fits you correctly. It's also important to have straight posture, arch your back just a tiny bit, do not suck in, but push hard on your stomach. You do not want to show a ribcage especially through a tight slender dress such as. Also when modeling you want to make you that you put a little angle to all your modeling. Especially with pants you can use a little more angling. Sometimes the pants just look very straight on so you want to make sure that when you model that you have a little movement too. Give the pants more curve. A very popular pose would be to go sideways with your legs, twist your hips the other direction, and your shoulders the other way. In posing, always make sure to twist your body in interesting positions. There's nothing worse than having a model stand there with their arms to the side, draped directly into the camera. It actually makes you look a lot wider than you are. Especially if you are slender you want to make sure to add in some curves to your body. Moving your hands and your arms wherever you can when posing. "
