Dressing techniques for a fuller figure

Wear clothes with shape. Whatever size you are - body hugging (not tight) clothes look better than boxy, shapeless garments. If you hide yourself amongst oodles of fabric – your weight and size will instantly increase.
Place verticals on "liabilities". The illusion of a leaner body is created by wearing garments with as many vertical design lines as possible eg pants with centre front crease, a pinstripe pattern, pleats, piping, a deep V-neck, a long necklace. Try placing these on figure challenges.

Highlight "assets".
Use belts to highlight a narrow waist. Use colour and print to emphasize slim upper body (diverting the eye from other areas) or wear shorter hemlines to show off gorgeous legs.
Avoid flimsy or clingy fabrics. Thin fabrics show up every bulge. Clingy fabrics show every bump and lump. Wear fabrics that drape and don't cling e.g silk rather than lycra.
Invest in shapewear. Suck-you-in foundation garments can take off 3 kg's.

Hide mid-torso rolls. Wear a loose camisole it will act as a layer to camouflage the rolls.
