FIGURE-FIXER TIPS FOR WOMEN

LARGE CHEST

When upper proportions are bigger than lower, divert the eye downward to offset bust and shoulders.

Tips:

Pair tops with slender pants and skirts for a narrow silhouette.

Choose tops and jackets that are slightly loose (but not too big) in dark shades for a minimizing illusion.

Stay away from belts; your chest and shoulders will appear larger. Try either a printed or brightly colored bottom to focus attention on lower body

BOYISH-FIGURE

For figures with similar bust, waist, and hip measurements, the trick is to create curves with your clothing.

Tips:

Steer clear of boxy, stiff silhouettes; try flowing shapes that soften straight lines.

Pick from bias-cut or flared styles to enhance curves.

Mix and match colors; monochromatic outfits camouflage your shape.

Spice up your wardrobe with fall's new multicolored geometric patterns; bold prints add the illusion of more curves.

Define your waist with a fitted jacket that nips in, or emphasize your hips with a low-slung chain belt.

FULL HIPS

To balance out curvy hips, thighs, and rear, try shifting the focus to shoulders, waist, and chest.

Tips:

Try scoop, funnel, or V-necklines to draw attention away from the hip area.

A slender A-line coat is a chic way to cover up your lower body. Also, choose A-line skirts to the knee or just below to flatter your shape.

Try bright colors and interesting textures above the waist; stick to dark neutrals for skirts and pants.

Experiment with scarves and necklaces. Or, pick a pair of pretty high heels to slim and elongate your legs.

10 WAYS TO FLATTER YOUR FIGURE

1. Minimize curves. A medium-length, double-breasted suit disguises big breasts and hips.

2. Accentuate curves. A halter dress makes an athletic physique more voluptuous.

3. Elongate your body. A pinstripe suit creates a vertical optical illusion, making you appear taller and thinner.

4. Conceal your butt. A cover-up blazer hides your behind and gives you the confidence to wear a body-fitting dress.

5. Disguise big breasts. A cropped jacket diverts attention from a busty upper body by emphasizing the waist.

6. Hide your tummy. An A-line dress and matching coat are instantly chic and can camouflage a multitude of sins.

7. Slim the body. A single-button jacket with long pants has an overall slenderizing effect.

8. Cover thighs. A long jacket with slim pants is thoroughly modern, yet covers you waist to knee.

9. Feminize a boyish frame. A long-sleeved T-shirt and fitted pencil skirt makes a skinny, petite body more shapely.

10. Lengthen a shorter torso. A white shirt worn half unbuttoned and over pants extends the upper body

TIPS ON HOW TO DRESS 10 POUNDS SLIMMER

Thick Waist "If your waist is thick, try not to draw too much attention to it. One option — wear straight silhouettes."

Short Legs "To 'lengthen' your legs, I suggest wearing slim-fit cigarette pants, or dresses that are to the knee, with a pointy mule or heel."

Big Bust "It is a myth that if you wear baggy, it will hide your bust. Wear tops and shirts tucked in, and choose looks that are more tailored."

Wide Hips "Direct attention to the upper body — look for details such as sensual necklines. Wear slim sweaters, long jackets, and knee-length skirts."

BULGE BUSTERS

Smooth your bust with a seamless, molded bra.

Eliminate bulges with a Lycra bodysuit.

Posture tip: Tip hips forward and draw shoulders in to look great in knits.

Flatter your shape with a Lycra half-slip.

PANTS AND SKIRTS THAT FLATTER YOUR FIGURE

Flatten your tummy: A solid skirt with two darts in front smoothes out your tummy area.

Disguise your thighs: A straight-cut skirt hides big thighs.

Smooth your shape: Lycra content acts as a girdle to smooth out your shape

Shrink your waist: Skirts with a flared, A-line cut make your waist appear smaller and hide your thighs. If you want to wear pleats, they should start below the hips, to flatten your tummy and give you freedom of movement.

Cover your butt: Pants with full-cut legs conceal large thighs and a big butt.

Hide your tummy: Trousers with a flat front hide your tummy and flatten you all around.

Minimize your thighs: The slight flare at the bottom of boot-cut pants makes your thighs appear thinner.

Lengthen your legs: Pants with narrow-cut legs hug your thighs and butt, making you appear taller.

For longer, thinner legs: Create the illusion with slender, sexy heels.

FULL-FIGURE FIXERS

"Don't wear a pant that is too tight at your midriff. Find a comfortable trouser in a weighty fabric. It will fall nicely on the leg."

"Wear sexy lingerie, such as Body Language, Playtex's full-figure line, under a double-breasted pantsuit and you will look chic and classic."

"Boat necks and halter tops work nicely with a broad upper body."

"Every woman should own a classic sheath dress and skinny-heeled pumps that elongate legs and lift calves."

"Try new designs, such as asymmetrical shapes, and don't shy away from trends. Color is in, so don't rely on black alone."

"Play with the way fabrics fall on your body, to achieve a sexy look for evening. Flowing outfits can elongate and give you confidence."

"If you've got fit and well-proportioned legs, show them off! Short skirts or short dresses should never be taboo, whatever your size."

"Color should match your complexion, highlight eyes and skin.”

"Cuffs weigh down a pant and give a good line on the leg."
