Ah, my beloved ladies, I took one for the team today. The hubby took the kids, and I sacrificed myself at the altar they call "the dressing room." Yep, I went to the girly store, gathered about 20 fashions and trends, all in an effort to see what actually works on curvy women. So, here are my findings!
Wanna hide chunky thighs?
Find the deepest darkest denim . None with that faded look. Just deep deep blue denim, and marry it. I was so sold, that I vow here and now to NEVER buy anything else. Unless you want to do color jeans but even still stay away from white and pastel shades.
Wanna minimize chunky midsection?
Make horizontal striped dresses your bff. The lines are not only hypnotizing but very flattering. I must say, this was my favorite look.
Say yes to prints with one exception: stay away from overly blousy loose printed material. It only makes you look like a frumpy ethereal mess.
Belts!!! Belts "create" a defined waist.
The biggest shocker was the trendy solid-top-printed bottom dress. REALLY, REALLY slimming, I was looking pretty hot, I must say.
Belted shirt dresses are also a good camo!
How about meaty arms?
If you have pretty decent shoulders, try a sleeveless dress or tank with straps NO thinner than 2 inches.
Which capris look best on shorties?
Straight and long. All the others make us looked "sawed off."
The biggest and most important lesson deserves all caps...
DO NOT WEAR DRESSES THAT FALL HIGHER THAN TWO INCHES ABOVE YOUR KNEES IF YOU HAVE BIG THIGHS AND FAT KNEES!!! Trust me, please.
You're welcome. (lol)
