Dresses for Appleshapes

I often find that women with the fuller waists, run as far as possible from dresses. No need - there are enough styles that could flatter your scrumptious shape darling!!  Below are some options for you!

THE WRAP DRESS



I love this style for your shape. The wrap over
creates a diagonal line which slims and lengthens
the body. Can you see how this sleeve slims her
bicep?




Diagonal stripes creates even more of a
slimming silhouette. Choose woven fabrics
instead of knits/stretch that skims the body!



I absolutely love this one - don't be afraid of
colour, and waistbands!


UNDERBUST CUTLINES



This is a great way to hide the belly and elongate the frame.


V-NECKLINES


Choose V-necklines with broad underbust
details. This will not only provide support,
but also draw the eye down toward the slimmest
part of the body.

MAXI's



Don't be afraid of softer floaty fabrics,
just make sure you have the right supportive underwear.

COLOURBLOCK



Try colourblocking - but ensure that the darkest colours are on the areas you are trying to hide. I love the way these colours slim the shape.

I especially love these ones because it has the pleats which adds some fullness to the bust and the flare hides the hip, but still gives you gorgeous femininity! Another variation of this style is the one above with the triangular contrast insets. It boadens the shoulders and shows off your slim waist. Beware however, if you have a fuller waist of course! Make sure that you wear a length that is right for you - this one would have been perfect, just above - or below the knee! Don't be afraid of a chinced waist and some pleating on the waitline! This will cover th...

Beauty unveiled

Women often feel pressurised in believing that true beauty is what is depicted in fashion magazines, the latest cosmetic ads, or the standards created by global trends. But is this truly a factual presentation of what the majority of women look like globally?

Now there is nothing wrong with being beautiful,  but remember that the only eternal beauty is what is reflected from the heart, so love and embrace who you are - your unique design is your purpose!!
