Style Advice
Fabrics
- You are your own canvas! Be creative with seam lines and fabrics, creating contours and adding curves where you desire them.
- Experiment with interesting prints, textures and fashion details that emphasize the hip, bust and shoulder areas.
Jackets & Tops
- Princess seams are lovely on you. Be sure they curve out from the armhole rather than down from the shoulder.
- Snug, fitted jackets with wide lapels and a subtle flare at the hem add a pizzazz you handle well.
- The upper and lower pockets of a tailored jacket create a wonderful shape.
- Tailored long jackets with a solid lighter- colored coordinating blouse and trousers offer simple polished style.
- Tops a tone lighter than bottoms or patterns add dimension and curve.
Necklines
- Round, high, low V, U and scoop necklines flatter your figure.
Skirts & Dresses
- Subtle A-line and pleated (un-sewn) skirts that fall to the calf are highly attractive.
- Dropped-yoke gathered skirts add interest, balance and proportion.
- Try a drop-waist look over narrow-cut pants with tall boots for a dash of style.
- A shirtdress with breast pockets on top and inverted pleats descending from the waistline appears balanced from top to bottom.
Pants
- Boot-cut trousers balance the shoulders. Be sure they're long.
- Straight-leg trousers with wide waistbands and pressed-down pleats or loose-fitting wide-legged hipsters add curves and interest.
Trims & Details
- Pockets on top and bottom help define a waistline by breaking the torso into three different areas.
- Indulge in fun details and embellishments on your hips and chest.
Buckle a wide belt around a shirtdress with chest pockets and an inverted-pleat hem and voila! You've got curves!
