Fabrics

Because of your strong shoulder line and curves, non-bulky double knits, jerseys and crepes capture your shape beautifully.

Keep fabrics, designs and cuts well-fitted and defined; double knits in simple cuts without too much volume can be divine.

Necklines

Lots of open necklines; deep V, U and scoop necklines flatter your shape.

Surplice (mock wrap) and full wrap styles enhance your curves.

Pants

Plain-front pants with a flare or boot-cut leg. Width at pant hem should be as wide as the hip.

Simple, boot-cut slacks elongate the leg while flattering curves.

Pant hems that skim the top of the heel keep the leg looking long.

Jackets & Tops

Look for jackets in fitted cuts, nipped or defined at the waist and with narrow lapels.

A simple one-button jacket with slender lapels and princess seaming elegantly skims your curves.

Shawl collar jackets lengthen the line and soften your curves.

Skirts & Dresses

Sarong styles look wonderful, as do pencil skirts with a back kick pleat.

Indulge in princess seaming on a dress to outline your curves.

Soft A-lines and gored, flared skirts flatter by balancing your shoulder line.

Wrap A-line dresses perfectly hug your shape.

Fitted sheaths that just skim the body are lovely.

 
Trims & Details

Keep pockets subtle and soft.

Cuffs on trousers are always a good idea if you legs are long.

Wrap and A-line dresses in jersey or crepe are a no-brainer for figure-flattering femininity.
