Who is the sensual classic woman, then?
The classic and elegant look is where you find yourself safe and comfortable. You want to radiate mystique and sensuality in the cuts of your patterns and fabric choices. Your wardrobe is in classic colours, and your outfits are never too loud. You're not quiet and hide in public, but you are mysterious and leave a lot up for interpretation. The closest thing to patterns on your fabrics is classic stripes or checks, but you feel the most at home in monochromatic looks or classic colour combinations, such as black, white, navy blue and gray. You prefer dresses or skirts and use the darts and cuts of the clothing to emphasize your feminine curves and features. You like to wear high heels, but if you're wearing flat shoes, it's a ballerina or other feminine and classic shoes. To you, it's not about being playful with your look, you're confident in what you like, and you know what looks good on you. You have already chosen a style and feel confident in following it.
Fabrics
Silk, wool and cotton are your preferable choices. You always pick a monochrome colour in fabrics, and if you go for patterns, it might be a change in structure more than a print. On the other hand, you love the classics, and if you're feeling wild, it might be a stripe or checks. At House Of Fabrics, our fabric shop, you would like the fabrics seen below.

Elegance is the key for you. The feminine lines and details that revolve around it are what you fall for when sewing to your wardrobe. For example, in our library of patterns, you would fall for patterns such as:
Jewellery
You love pearls and silver jewellery. You don't own a lot of jewellery, but they all add that last detail to your outfit. It's always delicate but something extra. You live by the quote by Coco Chanel: "A woman can be overdressed but never over elegant, "
Weekday vs Special occasions
To you, it's essential that people can see the difference between your party wear and your everyday wear. For example, you love wearing long gowns to parties and have a separate wardrobe for those parties you won't forget.
