Well there’s more to this this look than meets the eyewhy because we stylists always fit garments to our bodies to make them look just right.

Safety pins are my usual choice for quick adjustments, but whilst on stage at the National Wedding Show, a vest came in very handy with my glamourous Vivienne Westwood outfit to give me the coverage I wanted to feel confident.

Yup too much cleavage on show makes me feel a little exposed these days, in my fifties, I prefer a more sedate approach, as those of you who have read Ageless Style will know, but that doesn’t stop me from buying and outfit that has a low top I know I can customise or style it to suit me.

In fact, I never worry about the small things when I am buying clothes and I knew when I saw this outfit that I could work my stylist’s magic a little tweaking here and there to give me the right fit for my unique shape.

We stylists do this all the time, but well you’d never know unless of course I confessed it, like a regularly do in this blog!
