Here are some tricks!

1. Standing straight will instantly make your waistline slimmer. It also allows your clothes to sit on your body properly, which will also make you look taller and thinner – and it doesn’t cost a thing, just a small mind set adjustment.

2. Wear the right colors that enhance your beauty and make you look younger and healthier. Wear dark colors on your problem areas, this will make them appear smaller.

3. Dreaming of large bust? Wear garments that are visually increase the size of your bust, invest in items that have frills or details around the bust line – horizontal necklines also work wonders. This technique is great if you have larger hips as it takes the attention away from the lower part of your body and gives the illusion of balanced body.

4. Vertical design lines such as princess seams in dresses, single breasted jackets worn open, or a row of buttons which draws the eye, will instantly give you a slimmer look and make you look taller.

5. Avoid bulky or shiny fabrics and large patterns. Instead, choose fine to medium textured fabrics that skim over your body, rather than cling to it.

6. Invest in the best quality. Clothing made of a higher quality tends to sit better on the body and therefore will make you appear slimmer.

7. Shoes; The chunkier the shoe and more rounded the toe, the heavier you will appear. Go for shoes that show more of your foot in order to make your legs appear longer and try and avoid ankle straps … they cut your leg off and make you look a lot shorter than you are!

8. Choose the right fit. A well fitted item of clothing will emphasize your best assets while skimming your less flattering features. Don’t wear clothes that are too tight or hang like a bag over your body as it will actually make you appear larger.Take the time to look at the cut, color and design of your outfits and make sure they are flattering and not frustrating you.
