voluptuous curves and she is now known for being a

Flattering Tops
- Tops that are open at the décolleté are most
pleasing to the eye such as v-necklines, scoop
neck, and boat neck. - To accentuate the waist, pick a belt that can pair
with a solid blouse. Halter tops are also flattering. - For outerwear, shop for single-breasted jackets, a
belted trench or princess cut jackets.
No, Nos!
- When it comes to work environment and wearing
button-up blouses, be cautious of the space
between the buttons. It tends to open a bit. A
quick solution to this problem is putting double-
sided tape to secure the fabric. Works perfect! - Items to throw out: waist length puffer jacket. This
item tends to cut the body in half. Before
purchasing any garments be sure it elongates your
body. - Stay clear of big prints and patterns that over-
power your petite frame.
Bottoms
- For professional occasions, invest in a knee length
pencil skirt that is slightly tapered. This skirt
accentuates your curves to your best advantage - Also a knee length a-line skirt is great for any
occasion.
- Shop for fitted jeans that sit low on the hips. Boot-
cut and straight leg jeans help elongate your height. - Pin-stripe pants also do a wonderful job of
elongating the lower portion. Another bonus to
these pants is you can wear other colors besides
just black. - Tapered Capri pants are great for warmer climates.
No, Nos!
- Throw out the flared capri pants. The flare with cut
the legs and eliminate length in the legs. - Avoid pleated and ankle tapered pants.
Dresses
- Choose dresses that adjust to your curves like a
belted dress or a wrap dress.
- Sheaths, sun dresses, and princess shaped
dresses are also basics to shop for. These dresses
help elongate the figure and gently smooth the
curves. - Picking the right fabric is important. Be cautious
when it comes to thin and flimsy fabrics. The
thicker, more structured fabrics appear more
elegant and drape well.
No, Nos!
- Be cautious when picking out a long dress. It may
swallow you.
What about Swimwear
When it comes to swimwear, pay for quality. Invest in
one that fits well and is made to last.
- Halter tops elongate and flatter the curves.
- Swim tops that include bra support are a must. A
sweet heart neckline really plays up your feminine
figure. - Shop for suits with 18% or more in spandex. The
extra spandex gives more support.

*Consider Shopping Online as an Alternative. If you hate that
strong light in the store dressing rooms and unhelpful
salespeople, you may want to shop for swimwear from the
privacy of your own home. Most online stores have great
customer service, but always check their return policy before
you buy swimsuits. Click here to visit our recommended
shopping website.
