Dresses

The right dress can really bring out your best asset and make you look leaner. It is absolutely amazing! A classic is the empire waist with a V neckline, which emphasizes the smallest part of the body and elongates the neckline. Some of the women I worked with radically changed their opinion on dresses after discovering how flattering they can be. We   went shopping for 1 or 2 dresses and they end up getting 4 of them!

Also, try prints: they can be your best allies! Most plus size women avoid prints, which is actually a shame because they are an excellent way to trick the eye. They bring the focus away from anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Accessories

Statement necklaces tend to be overwhelming for most women, except for tall women and curvy women. So don’t be afraid to play with those statement pieces! They bring some flair to your outfit and balance your curves.

Avoid: small bag, shoes (kitten heels) and jewelry, as they are not in proportion with your figure. On the other hand, if you are wearing a statement necklace, you want to keep, the rest of the jewelry smaller so that there is only one focus in your outfit.

Bra

Wearing the right size for bra is essential for every woman. It is even more important when you are a plus size woman to help keep the girls up and the waist defined. Looking for a great place for bra fitting? Visit bratenders.com .

Jeans

Keep your jeans in a darker wash for a slimming look. I usually recommend a boot cut to balance the tights and the top half of the body.
