Question hi. I was wondering what can i wear to make me look like i am slimmer and got curves. Also something that makes my stomach look small.
Answer hello. :) A really great top (or dress, whatever) for what you are looking for is something with an empire waist, or a babydoll shirt. Basically, it has a "waistline" right below your chest and A-lines, or flutters, out from your body. It accentuates your curves on top, and flatters curves on the bottom. Even if you have a big chest, an empire waist usually looks good. To create some curves on bottom, you can wear plaid capris, bermudas, or short shorts. wearing plaid pants though might be a little much, Lol. If you wear a top that doesn't already have seeming at the waistline or it's own belt, try wearing a thickish belt right around your hips (on top of your shirt) over your belly. It can help hide a belly. Some general tips for looking slimmer:
Dark colors make things seem smaller.
Pull attention upward with a necklace, great makeup, or a cute hairdo.
Heels can improve your posture, which makes you appear slimmer. Plus they flatter legs and butt.
Fabrics that flow away from the body hide flab.
Accentuate your waist, or just your best feature. (legs, arms, calves, shoulders, bust.)
Wearing a bright fingernail polish can attract attention away from stomach.
Don't wear baggy clothes, or super tight clothes. Those just make you look bigger. Also, low-rise pants can make your stomach look bigger, so look for something like medium rise. Layers look good and can help disguise tummies. If you wear a low V-neck shirt (which also makes you look thinner) and wear a little cami under it, it looks really cute. Also, even though accentuating your waist makes you look skinnier, it also gives you great curves.
