      Mom, I think you need to get out of this dress and in some jeans.

      DARKER JEANS have a slimming affect, also go with the straight leg jeans.
      TOPS should fit you nicely, don't wear a tent of a shirt to hide under.

      Hmmmm.... does my butt look big?

      INVEST IN SPANX - this can work good underneath your clothes.

      I'm telling you - wear one color, and get some new shoes!!!

      STICK WITH ONE COLOR - this will give you a nice streamlined appearance. If 2 colors must be worn, darker goes on the bottom.

      WEAR V NECK TOPS - Your neck will appear lengthened and that will make you look slimmer.

      WEAR VERTICAL LINES, DARK COLORS and LONG EARRINGS - More tricks to give you a slimmer appearance.

      AVOID...
      - those wild prints, they make a big girl look bigger.
      - clothes that are too tight, or as mentioned before too loose it gives a sloppy appearance.
      - belts, they bring unwanted attention to your belly.
