Liz and Sarah have their minds blown by Emmy-nominated Costume Designer, Allyson Fanger, who says dressing for Zoom meetings isn’t just about what you wear. It’s also about what else is in the frame. Pro tips? Production design your space, wear a shirt with a collar, and choose bold glasses. This week’s Take A Hike comes from Sarah’s daughter, Violet: take comfort in the notion of “eventually.” Finally, Liz and Sarah share a Hollywood Hack from Liz’s mom — bring in an expert.

    Hi Liz and Sarah!
    I just listened to this episode and the idea of Zoom meeting fashion got me thinking that we should turn to people who have a lot of experience dressing for sitting down – wheelchair users! I did a little googling and found the following tips that would apply to folks who do not use wheelchairs, as well:
    -Try to wear something fitted in the waist. Sitting lends itself to looking frumpy, this can help mitigate that effect.
    -Go for tops that are longer in the front. I would have guessed the opposite since that means more material over your tummy, but the bloggers I found say it helps smooth out any areas you don’t love in your midsection!
    -Maintain good posture. Not exactly a fashion tip, but certainly effects how you look!

    I do not use a wheelchair, so please take this light research with a grain of salt and talk to people with real life experience if you get the chance!

    Here’s a couplearticles I found if you would like to learn more:
