said Thursday they would not ban ultra-thin models from the catwalk,
but stressed they had asked designers to use only “healthy” people in
their shows.

The
British Fashion Council said barring stick-thin models — as fashion
weeks in Madrid and Milan have done — “is neither desirable nor
enforceable.”

The
council, a consortium of major fashion retailers and publishers that
oversees London’s twice-yearly fashion weeks, said it recognized its
responsibility to help promote a healthy body image.

Look Your Best at the Beach or in Pilates Class by Sewing Your Own Swimsuit & Leotard

A wide range of pattern styles is available. Styles with princess seams are slenderizing. So are patterns with a center panel of a contrasting color; to minimize hips, use a dark color for the side panels. High-cut leg openings on swimsuits and leotards give the appearance of longer legs and a slimmer torso. For a full-busted figure, choose a pattern with a bustline shaped by darts or seams. To fill out a slender figure, use a pattern with shirring, draping, or ruffles. Or choose a simple pattern style and a splashy printed fabric to enhance a slender figure.By sewing your own swimsuits and leotards, you can make garments that meet your needs. Add a full-front lining to a swimsuit, if desired; this is especially important for light-colored and lightweight fabrics. Or you may line just the crotch area or add a bandeau lining in the bust area. Purchased bra cups may be sewn into the bandeau if firmer support is desired.Two-way stretch fabric stretches to fit the contours of many different figure types. Select the pattern according to the bust measurement to avoid extensive fitting adjustments at the bustline. If you require different pattern sizes for the hips and the bust, choose a multisize pattern, following the cutting lines for the appropriate sizes and blending the lines in the waistline area.
