Things You'll Need

• Women's Casual Tops
• Women's Causal Pants
• Women's Dress Coats
• Women's Dress Pants
• Women's Dress Sweater
• dresses and skirts

Instructions

1. Wear wide-leg pants. Steer clear of back pockets or any detailing around the buttocks. Avoid styles that cup your cheeks; opt instead for styles that hang full from the middle of the bottom. Front pleats and pockets will help balance your silhouette.

2. Choose full or A-line skirts that hang loosely from the body.

3. Pair a short jacket with a long skirt and a long jacket with a shorter skirt.

4. Select jackets that are slightly fitted and taper gently. Boxy styles may accentuate the size of your bottom.

5. Wear "empire" dresses for evening. Avoid clingy bias-cut styles, as they are unflattering to your body type.

6. Bring the focus of your admirers' eyes to your upper body. Wear brightly colored or patterned tops, and consider accessories around the neckline.

7. Remember that dark colors slim your figure. Consider navy, dark brown, charcoal and black as base colors.

8. Flaunt well-toned legs. This will draw attention where you'd prefer to have it.
