Any dress that does not have a belt — a shift, fit and flare, empire, raised waist, trapeze — is going to be more body-friendly to you now than separate tops and bottoms since there's no break at the waist. One-piece dresses glide over curves and balance body proportions, so you look more “even,” too.
Black never fails to make you look slim and elegant. Darker shades of colors like blue, purple and brown can also help to hide flaws and create a slimming illusion. On the other hand, lighter colors, like white and khaki, can add pounds and give the illusion of a larger frame.
Avoid anything with horizontal prints, be it big or small. Vertical print dresses tailored to your shape with deep necks are your go-to if you want to look slimmer and taller. And, patterns like A-line cuts or ruched waist dresses are structured to seal the deal for you.
Does wearing bigger clothes make you look thinner?
Oversized clothes really don't make you look slimmer. Because they stand away from the body, your body appears to be as large as the clothes and when you have a large bust, the clothes hang from that point, rather than coming back in and contouring your body.
All black is always chic, but other dark colors are equally slimming. Give deep greens, reds, and blues a try: The monochrome look will create a long vertical line, making your body seem tall and lean.
Opt for a dress or bottom that has both an elastic waistband and a wide or loose silhouette from the waist down. This will provide your waist with some definition, keep you comfortable, and avoid highlighting your bloated stomach.
How do you hide your lower belly pooch in a dress?
Go with an A-line cut, flowy fabrics, ruffles, or tops that do not cling to your tummy. Wearing darker clothing provides a slimming effect. Wear high-waisted dresses to smooth out the midsection. Wear a skirt and flowy clothes that are wider than your waistline at the bottom.
Some dress styles that tend to look especially flattering on bigger-busted people include wrap, fit-and-flare and V-neck dresses. Bodycon dresses are great for showing off your figure, while dresses that are belted in the middle are a fab choice for accentuating an hourglass silhouette.
Like I said, the results are subtle, but pulling your hair up does make your face look instantly thinner and sharper, especially from the profile. Bottom line: If you're not feeling so hot, pull your hair up in a high pony and watch your confidence skyrocket, Ariana Grande-style.
