Create an Illusion

  • Of a curvier, more feminine frame
  • Of a fuller bottom
  • Focus on your great legs and arms

You Want to Emphasis

  • Arms
  • Waist
  • Legs

Here are some DO'S

  • Use shoulder pads, these will make your shoulders look wider, and your waist smaller.
  • Wear wrapped tops with a scooped or V- neckline
  • Look for bras that have extra padding and underwire
  • Look for jackets that have a cinched waist, or bias cut
  • Look for jeans that hug and lift your bottom
  • Look for jeans that have flaps on the back pockets
  • Wear pants, jeans and skirts with a dropped waist.

DON'TS

  • Wear vertical lines
  • Wear clinging or tightly fitted blouses
  • Wear loose garments that hide your curves
  • Wear high waisted skirts, jeans or pants
  • Wear jeans with a straight cut

Accessorize!

  • Wear necklaces and chokers will draw the eyes up.
  •  Scarves will help detract from a flatter chest, and balance out an outfit.
  • Look for handbags and other accessories that are on the larger side.
  • You don't really need high heals to make you appear taller and leaner, but you don't want to wear flats that take away from your feminine look.  Somewhere right in the middle is perfect.
  • Belts will help accentuate your waist, thinner belts work best.
