Style Advice
Fabrics
- Choose delicately patterned, soft fabrics rather than bold stripes and plaids that might flatten your curves.
Jackets & Tops
- Match your curves with the curves of a jacket. A soft lapel and rounded hem will accentuate your curves with style and grace.
- A gently darted blouse with feminine sleeves flatters your shape.
- Steer clear of sharp angles in tops and jackets. Avoid squared-off, double-breasted or boxy styles.
- The top button of a jacket should rest just below the bosom. Stick with gently arcing collars like the shawl.
- Jackets with minimal details on top, simple collars and subtly defined waists enhance your lines.
Necklines
- The eased shape of a cowl neck is very flattering.
- V, U and scoop neckline tops are all great.
- Surplice (mock wrap) and wrap necklines (properly fitted) enhance cleavage.
- Soft, rounded collars complement your curves.
Skirts & Dresses
- Soft rather than pleated skirts or skirts with a subtle flare balance the curves.
- Skirts that smooth over the hips with a beautiful drape lend ease to your figure.
- Yoked waistlines fit over your rounded hips nicely.
- A wide scoop-neck dress with flaring godets and lots of princess seaming looks stunning on you.
Pants
- Flat-front pants with side zips and straight or flared legs reflect the curve of your hips.
- Softly pleated trousers are great if you have long legs. Darts are better than pleats for showing off your curvy hip area.
Trims & Details
- Keep pockets soft, curved and balanced.
- Raglan and gathered sleeves trace your shoulder curves.
- Don't overwhelm your shape with too many accessories or prints.
Stop traffic in a princess-seamed scoop-neck with a flared godet skirt that showcases your natural vavoom.
