Dressing Slimmer

Figure A--Before: The bright, tight sweater and short skirt emphasize a fuller bust.

Figure B--After: A long line in the jacket and skirt is slimming, while the loose fitting wrap blouse emphasizes the waist. Matte jersey is a wonderful choice for its drape and movement.

Figure C--Before: The wide stripes and a short skirt with a break between the boot are not good choices for a full-busted, petite woman.

Figure D--After: The long print skirt and solid top pull the eye away from the bust line, while the sandals give the leg a longer look.

Figure E--Before: Too much of a large pattern is overwhelming, even on a size-16 model.

Figure F--After: A solid black tank and solid red pants provide colorful relief from the large print blouse. The loose-fitting clothes are sized up to an 18. A smaller purse doesn't compete with the large flower pattern.
