HIDE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS (WOMEN)

Big bottom, big hips, small breasts. If you want to handle at least one of these, and need a dress that not only accentuates the good but, also hides the bad; then there are plenty of styles to choose from that will not only sort out your problem bits, but make you look gorgeous and cool.

Big Hips:

A line dresses are perfect for larger hipped ladies. Go for knee length to draw attention away from the problem area.

Things to avoid are dresses cut on the bias. The cross cut of the material makes them cling to big hips like nobody's business. Also avoid severely tapered skirts and styles with patch pockets, all around pleating and horizontal details.

Show off your top half with strapless or halter styles, empire waist styles or anything that is tight around the bust or waist and flares slightly.

Small Breasts:

Shift dresses are great if you want to draw attention away from your breasts. Pencil skirted dresses work well as they'll draw attention to the rest of your physique.

To be fair, small breasts can get away with most styles. Low cut dresses don't look awkward on girls with less cleavage, instead they look trendy more over you are the only one who can enjoy the clothes to full extent. so don't be embarrassed of your small breasts. Backless dresses are also great to draw attention away and are extraordinarily ideal for you.

ATTENTION: It's obvious that you prefer, wearing a Padded bra but, for God sake, never think of one which have padding (wiring in case of "under wired bra") at the UPPER portion (cup) of the bust. It leads to a lot of health problems including Breast Cancer. Ask the sales girl if you have doubts. Remember that it should always have padding at the LOWER portion(cup) for you to be safe. (also look in the article "Selecting the right bra" for detail information.)

Big Breasts:

Your best bets are wrap dresses, which hide the tummy area and separate the bust, or sweetheart and open necklines, which elongate the neckline and draw the eye up.

Look for dresses with a slight flare to balance the lower and upper body. Avoid high necklines (like shift dresses) which unify the breasts, and halter styles. Other shapes to avoid are boxy or baggy styles.Playing down this area is fairly easy to achieve by enhancing those parts of the body that really do look good like the lower area. Skirts with flare can take the eye away from the breasts, and playing down the breast area with darker color, balancing it off with brighter color in areas of strength can really look classic and nice.

Often the large breasted woman makes the mistake of wearing bras that are too small, leaving fatty areas around the bra under the arms and on the back....Never do such a mistake (at least from now onwards). By buying a correctly fitted bra, you will present yourself in a better way because the bulges will be less dominant and garments will look better. There are also weak areas around the shoulders and tops of arms that mean that a lady who is big on top would look better with garments that have sleeves. It's not a weakness and in fact can prove a great strength. Just by accepting the shape that they are and enhancing the areas that really do look good, attention is taken away from those areas of weakness.

Large Tummy (stomach or upper abdomen area) :

Don’t wear skirts or dresses in flimsy fabrics that offer no support, drawstring waist trousers or
low-cut hipsters, elastic waist tops, big prints or tiny floral prints.
Don’t wear undergarments that are too tight or tops that contain lycra.
Don’t tuck the tops in to the bottoms.
Wear denim skirts with a zip or buttons at the front - the fabric really holds your stomach in.
Go for shirts or jackets with buttons, leaving the last three or four unbuttoned to skim over tummy.
Wear longer length jackets, trousers that zip at the side and flat-fronted skirts.
Wear big chunky belts slung around the lower stomach.
Try long and lean stretch jeans and slightly low-slung waistbands to elongate your body.

plump (fatty) Legs/Ankles:

Don’t wear mid-length skirts that end at your calves, short mini skirts, calf-length or ankle
boots, light colored or shiny tights.
Don’t let your hem fall at the fattest part of your leg.
Don’t wear shoes with very delicate straps , ankle straps or ankle chains.
Wear wedges (platform heels), low-cut shoes, black knee-length boots in suede or stretch fabric.
Skirts that end just below the knee make lower legs look longer.
Do wear sandals with broader straps across the foot to disguise puffy ankles.
Wear dark colored plain tights.
