Just because we wear plus size clothing does not mean we can’t look good in it.  There are many ways to wear clothing that is flattering to the full figured woman.  First it is very important to know what body shape you have.  Everything you wear should be based off of the type of body you have, you should be able to properly place clothes and accessories on your body.  Once you have this down it will be easy to give your body the hourglass figure that is known to be the best eye candy to the human eye. 

• Dress with dark colors. Dark colored clothes from head to toe make for a slimmer figure.  To get rid of the boring look of all black top your outfit off with a bright colored accessory.

• Dress in clean lined clothing. Clothing with too many details visually adds pounds to your figure. 

• Dress in vertical detailed clothing. Clothing with vertical pleats and strips, zip fronts and cable patterns visually subtract pounds from your figure.

• Dress in accessories to your size. Accessories should be big, like wide belts, thick jewelry and big bags. 

• Dress in long scarves.  This winter season invest in scarves that will hang.  The dangling look vertically makes you appear longer. 

• Dress in a body shaper.  Wearing a body shaper underneath your clothing will smooth out any unwanted bumpy areas.  Body shapers were not just made for plus size women; even a size two model will wear a shaper if needed.  It’s a quick fix for those little problem areas. 

Knowing what shape your body falls into means you can pick the best clothing to flatter your figure.  No matter what size you are, choosing the wrong clothes can ALWAYS make you appear bigger.
