FASHION TIPS FOR PLUS SIZE GIRLS
Hi there gals,this guide is for all of us who are 18+ (or in other words fabulous)These tips are from personal experience and from frustration with most womens size labels.Now keep in mind,I am 27 and my fashion tastes are geared more toward my age range,but then again who doesnt want to dress a little bit younger eh?
1.JEANS,PANTS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN:
First off the number one mistake you can make is buying bottoms with zippers that reach your bust line!!!Think low rise,look at the zipper/crotch area.....the shorter it is without falling off your hips the better....REASON-This gives the illusion of a longer,slimmer torso instead of attracting attention to your belly.
SECOND:DO NOT BUY JEANS/PANTS THAT COME IN AT THE ANKLES!!!!!
Contrary to every store that carries plus sizes and every label making these bottoms,this cut is the fastest way to look like an umpa-lumpa.When you wear a boot cut or a flare cut it balances out the added weight throughout your figure.Think
BALANCE.
THIRD:Avoid patterned pants period.Not to say that black is it but stick to solids.
TIP:Back pockets that have decorations and are small,make your butt look smaller.Avoid pockets that bunch up or cause lumps.Oh and contrary to past belief....If your pants are low rise,a belt most definately adds length and slims you down.
TOPS IN GENERAL:
My general rule is this,if its too baggy you look 50 lbs. heavier.If its too tight you look 50 lbs. heavier.So in this case I stick to form fitting tops that are just loose enough to mask a roll or two (like under arms,back).I also look for fabrics like coton spandex blends or wear a stretchy tank top underneath.Double layer or lined anything works wonders.Collars,they are divine.If you opt for a nice button up blouse look for crisp fabrics,with large collars.This leads ones eye to your face not your tummy.If you wanna accentuate your cleavege that works too....pair up the collar with a low cut tank or camisole.
Pair that up with a blazer (THE MIRACLE CLOTHING MUST HAVE)and you are good to go.
Now when it comes to capris I have one rule for myself....If they dont flare out do not even think about it.But in general I avoid em.
REMEMBER:WHAT YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR IS USUALLY 10 TIMES BIGGER THAN WHAT ACTUALLY IS.DON'T SHOP THAT WAY.TRY IT ON!TRY IT ON!TRY IT ON!
SIZE 1X AT ONE STORE IS SIZE 4X IN ANOTHER.TRUST ME.
OH AND REMEMBER......NO CLICHES INTENDED,BUT CURVY IS BEAUTIFUL.ITS WHAT A WOMAN SHOULD BE.
