My chest & hips are are 1X while my waist is a 4x. What styles should I be wearing for casual & dress. I have lost 30lbs but hardly any from waist so now my waist is bigger than my chest & hips.

First of all, congratulations on losing 30 pounds--that is no small achievement! I've been struggling to lose weight myself and it is hard.

As for what to wear, your focus should be on creating visual balance. Look for styles that play up your shoulders--jackets and tops with small shoulder pads, detailing at the shoulders, boatneck necklines, etc.. For pants and skirts, look for boot-cut pants and skirts with an A-line or wider flare--both these looks will create visual balance and draw attention away from your waist. And keep at it--sounds like you're doing great!

Sorry for the delayed response; I'm starting a new business and it's keeping me running.

Regards,

Kat
