Look Your Best! (2)

Too  thin
Clothes made from thick material add weight to a thin frame. Wear clothes that fit well, or you will appear even thinner. Bright colors also make your body look fuller.
A big tummy
Choose tops in a material that doesn't stick to you and isn't too tight. Two-piece sets and loose-fitting, low-waisted dresses disguise a large tummy.
Large bottom
Stay away from tops that are too short and have large designs. Hip-length tops and flared pants move the eyes away from the hips.
Thick thighs
Avoid perfectly straight pants, which put the focus on your hips and thighs. Instead, choose flared pants, which lengthen the leg and make the thighs look slimmer.
Big arms
Choose three-quarter length sleeves that stop below the elbow, the thinnest part of the arm.
Wide ankles
Never wear shoes that fasten at the ankle. They make your legs look shorter and your ankles and legs look wider.
No one has a perfect body. But you can make yours look great with these simple clothing tricks.
