Hey everybody! So this blog goes hand in hand with an idea I've had for quite some time now. I'm starting my own line of clothes called Embrace Couture that promotes healthy body image. This all started for me because of my own body shape actually. I'm not the most proportioned girl have measurements of 32-23-35. So another way you could put it is my upstairs doesn't match my downstairs! I always have had trouble finding jeans and underwear that can fit my big butt and tiny waist. Not to mention I'm also barely 5'1. So the jeans that fit my butt are too long for my legs and to big for my waist, and the jeans that fit my waist and are the perfect length for my legs don't give my hips and butt room to breathe! I first came up with my original idea "Embrace Your Booty" simply because I was so frustrated. However, there was a couple problems with that.
For one, like most 20 year old girls, I am a natural born shopper. I believe that God put me on this Earth to do just that, SHOP! I got a well paying job when I was 19 and had dropped out of college after my first year and kind of went spend crazy. Sure I have lots of gorgeous clothes and shoes to show for it but after almost two years at this job, I'm not rolling in any money...at all.
For two, I had no idea how to sew. Not only did I not have the funds, I also didn't have the skills to make my ideas come to life.
For three, can't draw to save my life. I've actually have gotten much better recently but still not very good.
So I had to think of another way to bring my ideas to life with those three things stacked against me. I won't go into the money end of it but instead of focusing on just "Embrace Your Booty," which only girls with larger backsides can relate to, I'm going to focus on positive and healthy body image for everyone. That's how I came up with "Embrace," which will just be a line off of my brand Embrace Couture. This line is just promoting healthy body image for all girls no matter what their body shape is. Every girl has some insecurities about the way they look but every girl is beautiful in her own way and should have a positive outlook on their body. Too many girls nowadays feel they need to change their bodies to be attractive and a lot of time they try to lose weight in unhealthy ways. I'm hoping to really reach out and help girls embrace their bodies and realize they are gorgeous no matter what size they are.
My line is going to start out strictly as t-shirts. I'm still in the process of making myself a better designer, (i.e. sewing classes, drawing classes, money management classes :), etc.), so other types of clothing will be available later on in my collection. The shirts will range from all sizes and colors with my different designs featuring the word Embrace. A website where you can buy these will be posted asap. I have taken the first couple necessary steps to get this started.
My main goal is to promote a healthy, confident, body image to all girls. If I can do that through my clothes I will be extremely happy. If you like my idea and would like to support me subscribe to this blog, http://www.embracecouture.blogspot.com/. I'll be keeping you informed about any updates on my line and I'm also going to keep it fun and blog about anything fashion, beauty, or FUN related! I'll definitely be letting everyone know a little more about me and my life also.
Please support healthy body image for all girls and subscribe! YouTube channel and website coming soon!
Much love,
Christine for Embrace Couture
