Lesson 1 – Don’t lose your shape in a baggy dress. Do stick with a fitted one.
Lesson 2 – Don’t be afraid to wear prints. However, be sure that they are broken up with a block of solid colour. A thick solid belt will also do the trick.
Lesson 3 – A twinset is a great idea for those who are carrying a few extra pounds.
Lesson 4 – Do not hide behind a boxy jacket. Go for one that is cropped and fitted to show off your curves.
Lesson 5 – Wear all one colour, especially black because it is flattering. Try other deep colours as well such as navy, charcoal and brown.
Lesson 6 – V-necklines minimize broader shoulders and flatter your neck.
Lesson 7 – Whether you are wearing jeans or a dress, it is good to give yourself an instant lift by wearing heels. It will make you look longer and leaner.
