With many options nowadays readily available to plus size women in the clothing department, especially online, a curvy lady needs to choose items which will flatter her figure and at the same time be comfortably fitting. Here are 5 essential tips to keep in mind, which have been brought to us by Kristine Blenkhorn Rodriguez of the Chicago Tribune.
- Fabric counts! Ensure the fabric you choose it not a crunchy one as this type can make you look bigger.
- Avoid pleats. These are a definite no no for plus size women as they magnify curves, no enhance them!
- Don’t sweat it. Wicking fabrics are a must for larger women.
- Avoid clothes that do not give definition to your shape! (Items also known as tents.) Hiding under loose fabric does not help and does not look good.
- Avoid clothing with cuts towards the middle of the body, as this puts emphasis on this area of the body. Instead choose items which make the most of your best assets, legs for example.
