Resolution: Ruching


If your New Year's Resolution was to loose some weight...resolve to try ruching!



Think of this styling as another way the designer gods are offering down their mercy for those of us who need a few more core fusion sessions!



Ruching is a pintuck styling in which the garment lays in a gathered form on the body. It basically cinches in and hugs your curves...or lack there of.


Ruching is perfect for all body types...it hides what you don't want and shows off the curves you have.


  • A square neck such as the top shown is often more flattering than a v-neck as it often times goes to low on busty gals or just accentuates what's lacking.



  • 3/4 sleeves can transition for year round wear. Pair with a blazer or cropped belted jacket for cooler weather and worn alone with a delicate scarf for spring.


  • Ruching looks best when it is placed along the sides of the blouse. Side ruching gives the most flattering appearance and will whittle your waist.



  • Jersey fabric will cling and flatter the body without loosing it's shape. I love jersey because the texture mixes with any other fabric already in your closet. It sustains time and travels exceptionally well.

Keep crunching forward with your resolution...but in the meantime try ruching!!
