Catherine Malandrino Silk

 

Gathering of fabric is a great way to hide or emphasize an area..so look in the mirror or take a selfie to see if the dress has achieved the desired effect.

Asymmetrical gives great bust coverage. Just make sure you have the correct bustier or strapless. 

 

 

Basically, choose dresses that accentuate your best feature. Material with some give like jersey is always a good bet. If you choose a sturdier fabric make sure it fits correctly. 

Bust: v-neck(emphasis) or asymetrical(minimize)

Small Waist: ruched, cut outs or gathered

Hips: (minimize) with flare or a line fitted but not too tight(accentuate)

Well fitting undergarments make a difference.

Real style is never right or wrong. Its a matter of being yourself on purpose. -G. Bruce Boyer
