The only thing better than getting closer to your goal weight is looking like you’re even closer to your goal weight! Check out some of my top tips for dressing slimmer:
Wearing any dark color, be it navy, dark brown or black, from head to toe is slimming, particularly if you wear garments that are the right cut for your body frame (Nobody looks good in those tent-like dresses … even in black!).
If your pants are too short they can make you look heavier, particularly if, like me, you are on the short side. A longer line — covering most of your shoe — will create longer-looking legs and an overall leaner look.
Choose a baby-doll style top to minimize your midsection. Choosing one with a vertical pattern will help make you look even more slender.
If you’re full-busted, consider trying a turtle neck and choose round necklines whenever possible. Look for tops that are form-fitting, but not clingy.
Dress shopping isn’t exactly simple for us plus size gals, but with a few of these tips in mind, it’s easier:
If you have a thick waistline, look for wrap dresses that tie below your waist or an empire-style dress that sits above it.
Got an hourglass figure? Pick a dress with a defined waist that is cut a little higher on the side to make your torso look slimmer and minimize belly bulges.
Is your belly pooch your trouble spot? Be sure to avoid any extra fabrics at the middle because the extra material will add bulk to your belly.
