Balancing act

When it comes to hiding flaws and enhancing assets you need to be in the know if you want to create the illusion of a svelte figure.  Layering with a jacket or tee is a great way to flatter a fuller bust, wrap tops are perfect for this…the cinched in waist will create the illusion of a tiny waist and the v-neckline of your shirt will compliment the bust. You can find some fab plus size coats at www.onestopplus.co.uk/, one of the leading UK plus size retailers.

A skirt is another must-have item in any wardrobe and A-line styles are best suited to those with a fuller shape.  This is mainly because they match your fuller bustline and in turn this will keep you looking proportional.  If you like your skirts to be tucked in and smart, opt for a skirt with a slightly lower waistline, this will create the effect of a longer torso, which will in turn make you look taller and slimmer than you actually are.

Avoiding miniskirts is a must, as these may look a little over the top when teamed with an enviable bust region; try instead a smart pencil skirt in order to show off your curves, especially if you have average or larger hips.  This, teamed with a smaller waist, is the perfect fuller figure and one that will be the envy of all of your friends.

Trousers are another wardrobe essential, whatever your shape.  If you wish for your trousers to hide your hips, opt for a slightly wider style, this will allow the fabric to skim over the hips.

Avoid skinny styles at all costs as such a look will make you appear top heavy, enhancing your bust even more so.

If you have an evening on the cards you will more than likely want to choose a sexy evening number.  Romantic attire is very much in this season and a piece with both a structured bodice and an A-line skirt will work to enhance and balance your natural shape.
