| Tips on Flattering Your Figure | |
|
De-emphasize your bustline With a keyhole yoke is usually most flattering. Avoid empire or cinched waists, they accentuate larger breasts. A straight skirt, A-line dress or fitted bodice with a full skirt is also flattering. |
|
|
De-emphasize wide hips This common problem can be disguised with a ballgown flared skirt or A-line dress. Emphasize your upper body and waist (instead of your hips) by selecting a gown with bodice detail, like lace or beading. |
|
|
Looking Taller Try a dress with a high neckline and/or an empire waist A short sleeved or sleeveless dress with long gloves will also elongate your appearance. Another neckline that usually flatters the petite woman is an off-the-shoulder neckline. Be careful not to-shoulder neckline choose a dress that overwhelms you. |
|
|
Looking Smaller Drop waist, with a wide belt and trim or ruffles that wraps around the dress will take away the all legs look. Open,off the shoulder, low necklines with billowy sleeves are also good. Hats or dramatic veiling are striking and will not overpower you. |
|
|
Looking slender You'll seem slimmer if you wear a Princess style or A-line dress You can even go with the classic "slimmer" trick and wear vertical lines. |
