Know your body type. Are you big-busted with broad shoulders or small-chested with no waist? Women with larger body frames should look for more coverage on the top and a fuller skirt. This gives balance and minimizes where you need it. Smaller-framed women should look for adjustable ties and less fabric on top.

Wear the right undergarments. The wrap dress is becoming a wardrobe staple, so it is important to have the right underlings. A 1-piece bodysuit is a great option for hiding bulges. Create curves with padded cups.

Tips & Warnings
Keep the rules of patterns in mind: smaller frames need smaller patterns. If you wear stripes, vertical or diagonal are more slimming.
Look for quality fabrics. Jersey or cotton with extra stretch can be great for daytime. Look for satiny sheen and gauzy overlays for evening.
