Wearing Happiness

Every woman is unique - but the clothes sizes in the fashion industry are not. And so shopping is often a source of frustration rather than pleasure. When trousers stretch and the blouses nip, many women regard their bodies as problem zones. Yet the clothing sizes and conventional patterns are based on average measurements that correspond to the fewest of women. Andreia Granada is familiar with this problem and has found a creative solution: she measured herself and designed individual sewing patterns to fit her. Thanks to her home-made clothes she has found a new self-confidence that she would like to pass on to other women.
