How to Dress Well with a Curvy Figure

I'm a round little short woman and I am working hard to update my style. Here are some tips I've found helpful for dressing my figure.

Things You'll Need

• Money
• Sense of adventure

Instructions

1. 

   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.

2. 

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

3. 

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

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

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

6. 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.
