Style; Flattering Figure

Every woman wants a flattering figure; unfortunately, not every woman has the perfect figure. There are secrets to dressing to flatter the figure you do have. We should start with something that should be common knowledge to wear your proper size, but as I walk through the strip mall or the farmers market, I am shocked to see that there are many women who choose not to wear their proper sizes. Some women wear clothing that is too big, or too small. If you are unsure of what your proper sizes are, try using the fitting room at your store of choice. Take different sizes in with you and try them all on. I strongly encourage you not to purchase jeans that are too small, even one size. If you wear jeans that are too small, you will end up with a muffin top (even if you are skinny).
                Wearing form fitting shirts is ok, if you are fit. However, the average woman is not the next Victoria’s Secret model. If wear a form fitting tank top, layer it with a properly sized shirt over it. If you do this, it will give a slimmer look. Wearing a form fitting shirt, over another form fitting shirt is slightly uncomfortable and will cause bulging around the waist.           
                There is something that I feel every smaller breasted woman should have in their drawer. A bra is a marvel of engineering! Men like to call if ‘false advertising’, I call it a little ‘help’. Being a smaller breasted woman myself, I found that there are a few that support and give great lift! One of my favorite styles of bra is the Vassarette Lace overlay, push-up bra, $10 at Walmart. Walmart also carries bra’s that increase your bust size by one or even two cup sizes for under $20 (I own at least 4 of these).
                Shoes are a necessity in every closet. I really dislike flip flops and Crocs. They are ugly and do not complement any outfit. Flip-flops are ok if you are wearing a sundress or a swimsuit, however I prefer sandals. A cute pair of sandals can bring the outfit together, whereas throwing on a huge pair of crocs throws off every look.
