Curvy Girl Fashion Tips
Flaunt Those Curves
Fashion Tips For REAL Women
With REAL Curves
Written by Kathy
08/02/2006
Don't hide
under baggy clothes . Don't be afraid to wear fitted garments, garments
that hang like a tent make you look much larger. Figure-fitting but not
skin-tight is the best way to go, showing that you have real curves.
Body-conscious clothes that hint at your curves, without being Too
clingy or Tight, are the most flattering. Don’t go for items which fit
too tightly, the idea is for clothing to hug your body so that is gives
it definition and enhances your curves. Choosing items which are too
tight will not look too classy. At the same time items which are too
baggy should also be avoided. Show off those beautiful curves in a
classy and chic manner. Unfortunately, wearing baggy clothes only makes
you look bigger, and it hides the shape and figure that you do have. A
baggy, long shirt will mask your waistline and make your body look much
wider than it actually is. Layers of clothing will only add bulk to
your appearance. Don't be ashamed of your body - every body is
beautiful. You Know My Motto ~ "Flaunt Those Curves!"
Any color worn
head to toe (monochromatic) in a clean, unbroken line will produce a
dynamically slimming effect. Remember, monochromatic doesn't have to
mean boring -- mix textures to keep the look interesting (i.e. knits
with leather)
Lines - horizontal lines on a garment will make you look wider; vertical lines will make you look taller and thinner.
You've probably
heard that black is slimming, and while this is basically true, you
don't want to hide behind all black clothing, all the time....add some
splashes of vibrant color to your wardrobe. Bright colors can actually
lift your spirits, too!
One-piece
dresses look sleeker than separates. Stretch fabrics help the fit. If
you do separates, Remember the brightest or lightest color or print
"pops" and accents whatever it's on. A good way to balance out a top
heavy figure, For axample.. a zebra skirt with a black turtleneck.
Proportion can
play tricks on the eye. While an oversized handbag makes a great
accessory, a small handbag will make your figure appear larger. Choose
a shape that flatters (ie: square shapes compliment a round figure) and
make sure the strap length doesn't land in a problem area (ie: don't
let the bottom of the purse rest on full hips)
Elongate the neck
with open necklines such as v-necks, sweetheart necklines and vertical
cowl necks. A slim v-neck makes the neck appear longer and is usually
very flattering.
Boatnecks are
great for minimizing waists and hips, while maximizing sexy shoulders.
Caution: Avoid if you have broad shoulders!
If your legs are fuller inside, try a side slit. If your legs are fuller outside, a mid-front or back slit is a better choice.
If you are
petite (5'3" or under) make sure you scale everything down : smaller
prints, pockets, etc. so they don't overpower your figure.
Forget what
you've heard about plus size ladies not being able to wear pretty
floral prints. It's all in the size of the bloom (bigger prints are
best) and the spacing of the flowers in the print. Wide spaced florals
with lots of background color showing through look best.
Let's Talk
Pants! :) A straight or slightly bootcut leg is the most flattering for
us plus size ladies. Avoid white or very light-colored knit pants. Skip
fussy details like big cargo pockets, rouching or excessive zippers
around the hip area.
Don't shy away from sleeveless garments, especially eveningwear that you can cover up with a shawl, sheer top or bolero jacket.
And Lastly....My Personal & all-time Favorite Curvy Girl Fashion Tip is more of a comment than a tip, But it's one I hope every woman carries with her in her heart every day: Always Wear a Positive Self Image ~
"Nothing Looks Better on a Woman than Her Confidence and Pride."
