Now a woman’s curves are usually the bust area and the hip area. To draw attention to this you want to find something that is fitted at the waist, has a belt, or nips in right below the bust line. “Tent” dresses will simply make you look less shapely than you are. If your problem area is your waist, then try an A-line dress. This gives the illusion of a waist without being to form fitting. Make sure the skirt is much fuller than the top.
Darker, monochromatic colors tend to make you look taller and slimmer. However, most women want a softer, lighter, possibly pastel color for an Easter dress. So, compromise and go with a lighter color, but very small print or solid color. You could also select a two-piece outfit. If so, try using a darker color on the bottom and a lighter color on top. If you really do want something with a pattern, choose something smaller that runs vertically on the fabric. This will add length, resulting in you looking slimmer. Stick with lighter, silky fabric. This will flow around your body rather than clinging to it. Heavy material makes a person look thicker. Don't forget a nice plus size sweater to make the outfit complete.
Wear clothes that balance you horizontally and vertically. In other words, if you are very tall, go with something that has a short jacket. If you’re short, go with something longer to add length to your profile.
Some accessories that will make you look taller are of course, high-heeled shoes. Pointed toed shoes especially look better. Rounded toed shoes will tend to make your legs look stumpy. Big chunky bracelets will make your arms look bigger. However, long dangly earrings or long thin necklaces can make your neck and torso appear longer and thinner. If you decide to wear a solid color, a little accent color in your jewelry will keep the ensemble from being too boring.
Always wear your exact size. Don’t try to squeeze into a smaller size or wear something that is way too big. It will just make you look like you can't afford to buy the right size clothes. When buying online it can sometimes be hard to make sure you get the correct size. Therefore, make sure you check the website’s sizing charts and measure yourself accordingly.
The most important thing of all is a good dose of confidence. If you know you look sexy and beautiful, others around you will notice too. Keep your head held high and know that what you are wearing has never looked better!
