Flatter Your Figure: Tips and Tricks for Dressing Your Best

Hide Your Tummy
A pencil skirt with a full, longish sweater disguises bulges and hides a less-than perfect waistline.

Lengthen Legs
Miniskirts with matching tights are great for making legs look longer. Wear them with a chunky sweater for a polished, downtown look.

Hiding Your Hips
Not crazy about your hips? Wear an A-line skirt or a skirt with more of a flare with a matching long jacket to draw the eye away from your hips and disguise a larger bottom.

Flatter a Large Bust
The goal is to divert the eye downward to balance the bust with the rest of your body. Wear slender pants and skirts for a slim silhouette, and pick tops that are a little loose (but not oversized--this can make you look heavy) in dark colors. Try to avoid belts--they'll cut you in half and keep the focus on your chest.
