Oh what a difference the right styling can do for your figure. Take Rose. This is her on the same day before and after her Gorgeous Me makeover. She looks like she's lost 10kg, all of it through styling.
The key to looking slimmer:
*Wear more fitted clothes, as opposed to big and baggy. A lot of women wear clothes that are loose fitting to hide their size, lumps and bumps. It's why tunic tops are so popular. The problem is, these bigger clothes often make you appear bigger than you really are. I encourage you, where possible, to wear clothes that contour the body more. Don't panic, I'm not suggesting figure hugging. That's impractical for many. Women are astounded by the difference it makes.
*Opt for plain, simple styling and design lines as opposed to anything that adds unnecessary volume, eg, tucks, pleats and gathers.
