Plus Lovely Fashions

Question: 40 year old, plus sized fashion help?

(Posted by: Korean Girl on 2008-06-25 16:19:40)

I'm helping someone I know who is in their forties and they are plus sized. They have slim lower legs, and a large bust. I need some help on how to slim the bust and butt, but how to flaunt the lower legs. Also, what are ways to make her look taller? Need ideas for clothing, such as styles and colours. Thank you very much, ahead of time.

To slim the bust first a foundational piece aka minimizer bra. This will slim all the problem areas first. (lane bryant and many bigger bra designers carry them), blazers and fitted jackets that fit properly and "lock and load " the girls is a must! Make sure the jacket buttons and there are no gaping holes. the button should be right under the bust no lower. If it gapes in any way, dont buy it! To flaunt the lower legs would be an A line skirt that hits right above the knee. Nothing to short. This will show off the legs, add a pointed toe stiletto and she will look long and lean. Do not limit yourself to just black!!!! If the items fit properly then they will be slimming. hope this helps.

You should watch TLC, some shows on there really help. I would say long black slacks for work, and bell shaped skirts. But I really don't know much.
