Plus Size Clothing - How to Dress to Appear Slimmer
As a woman whose clothing sizes have ranged from large to extra-extra-large, I've known the heartache of trying to find an outfit that fits without making me feel like I'm wearing a tent!When I go into a department store, I do my best not to look at the clothing on the manikins because I already know that those outfits will not be available in my size.
I reluctantly head to the "Plus-sizes" department knowing that the majority of clothing I'm going to find is unappealing and more likely to make me look larger than I am.
What choices can I make that will make me appear slimmer?Which of those choices will also be comfortable and desirable to wear? One of the first items that come to mind that is both slimming and comfortable is a stretchable pair of jeans.
Having recently had a baby, I still have the maternity jeans that I bought to wear while I was pregnant.
They are made of stretchable denim in the legs and have a large elastic waistband.
Te large elastic waistband is easily hidden under most shirt bands or sweaters so there is little chance of the secret weapon being discovered by others! Everyone believes that wearing black can be very slimming.
This is true when you are wearing black as an outer layer (such as your leather jacket or coat), but who wants to wear nothing but black clothing every day?One suggestion is to mix black with another color in a sweater that has a swoop neck.
The swoop neck gives a fashionable look and draws the eyes to the face and away from the midsection.
Finally, choose your outer clothing wisely.
A stylish ladies leather jacket can be the perfect completion to your slimming wardrobe.
Choose from jackets that are longer than waist-length because it helps to disguise your size.
Avoid jackets made entirely of wool or with visible wool linings because it gives the image of a fuzzy sheep to the viewer.
Also, avoid jackets that look too much like the top of a sweat-suit.
Ladies coats should not have hoods, regardless of how cold the air around you.
Regardless of the outfit you choose to help to appear slimmer, be sure that you follow one final rule:If you love it in the store when your first see it, you'll love to wear it!And don't talk yourself out of purchasing that item when you find it!As one consultant once advised me, if you see it and love it, buy it because the opportunity may not come around again for years to come!
