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.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Money
  • Sense of adventure

Step1
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.
Step2
Hmmmm.... does my butt look big? INVEST IN SPANX - this can work good underneath your clothes.
Step3
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.
Step4
WEAR V NECK TOPS - Your neck will appear lengthened and that will make you look slimmer.
Step5
WEAR VERTICAL LINES, DARK COLORS and LONG EARRINGS - More tricks to give you a slimmer appearance.
Step6
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.

Tips & Warnings

  • Pump shoes are slimming
  • Maintain good posture
  • Smile
  • Be confident - fake it if you must.
  • Consider a visit with a stylist if you can't find the right look for you
