  • The Blue Suit Mom provides the following tips to narrow the appearance of your shoulders: ?Avoid heavy or stiff fabrics at the shoulders Avoid tops that have shoulder seams that drop onto the upper arm area (off-the-shoulder seams or styles). This seamed look is often found in ultra casual garments, such as sweatshirts, etc. Avoid tight turtlenecks and high necked garments that emphasize the shoulder line Avoid boat-neck designs and tops or dresses with strong horizontal lines across the shoulders or neck area, including set-in yolks on blouses or dresses. Avoid gathers at the shoulder line Wear ?Ragland? sleeves (with Ragland sleeves there are no shoulder seams; the sleeve and neck are usually cut as one piece of fabric; sometimes there is a diagonal or vertical seam line that hits several inches inward from your actual shoulder bone. Wear tops with inset sleeves, where the seam line of the sleeve comes just to the mere edge of your shoulder bone or right on it. Fashion pins, worn on one side of the garment or lapel, draw eyes away from the shoulder line. Use vertical lines with center interest, such as buttons, chains, scarves, etc. Choose narrow lapels, versus the wide or extra-wide lapels, on jackets and blouses.? Blue Suit Mom http://www.bluesuitmom.com/career/powerimage/wideshoulders.html To minimize wide shoulders wear: - raglan sleeves - no dropped shoulders - no shoulder pads - no extra detail at shoulder level http://www.sapphirepress.com/bydesign/style.html To minimize the bust and shoulders and emphasize the hips. Do: ?Add details such as pockets, patterning, and textural fabrics to the lower half of garments to balance out your appearance. Choose styles with drop waists, peplums, and pockets. Use raglan sleeves and V-necklines to draw the eye downward. Balance out your figure with full skirts. Draw attention down and away from bust and shoulders with border prints.? Don?t: ?Use yokes or pattern details that call attention to the shoulders or bust. Place pockets on bodice?they?ll make your upper half appear wider. Add details such as ruffles to necklines?instead, keep them simple. Layer pieces?it adds bulk where you don?t need it. Choose styles with wide lapels or shoulder details. Wear Capri pants, miniskirts, and narrow silhouettes?they?ll make you look more top heavy.? Tips: ?Low necklines, V-necks, and shawl collars slim and lengthen, drawing the eye downward?a plus for broad shoulders.? Do not wear turtlenecks ?Turtlenecks, high necklines, and rolled collars carry the eye upward, shortening the neck and causing the shoulders to appear wider. They can also make a broad upper body seem boxy.? Sleeves ?Puffed sleeves disguise sloping shoulders and make shoulders appear broader. Full sleeves add width to the overall silhouette. Raglan and kimono sleeves draw the eye down to the lower body, diverting attention away from the shoulders and bust. Bell sleeves add width to the lower body, making the top half appear slimmer. They also draw attention to the hips.? ?No curves: Feminize a boyish figure with bias cuts and diagonal patterns.? Source: Vogue Patterns http://www.voguepatterns.com/vpm/figure/figurem.htm If you have a slightly wider shoulders and larger bustline with narrow hips and legs. ?Main goal: create a visual balance between your wide upper body and narrow lower body. - Wear fuller bottoms in prints, bright colors, and flared or pleated skirts. - Wear darker, less embellished tops to minimize the wide upper body. - Choose heavier, chunky shoes and keep accessories close to the face. - Avoid shoulder pads or wear only small ones.? Source: Better Half http://www.betterhalf.com/pages/body%20types.shtml ?With your shoulders and bust wider than your hips, you need to build up the bottom and minimize the top. Wear medium to high-cut legs. Put more color and prints on the bottom. Also, look for suits with wide straps. Square necks help to narrow broad shoulders. Do not wear plunging neck lines or mini bottoms.? Source: Christian Women Today http://www.christianwomentoday.com/beauty/swimsuit.html ?Prints around the neck and over the shoulder can make your shoulders appear wider. Do not wear blouses with fancy details and ruffles.? http://www.be.young.dsl.pipex.com/fashion/fashin-shape.htm Broad Shoulders: Wide necklines, short sleeves and light fabrics help to visually reduce broad shoulders http://www.seasonsindia.com/beauty/fashion_sea.htm Top heavy, narrower hips and thighs ?Do not wear horizontal stripes! Keep tops and shirts sleek and fitted, with V necklines good, chunky knits bad!? http://www.petitepersonalshopper.com/about.html ----------------------------------------- Long Legs If your legs are longer than average, but you would like to blend in rather than tower above everyone; ?Avoid clothes with vertical lines as this elongates you. Low-waisted, boot-cut or straight leg trousers are great for long legs. Opt for low kitten heels rather than flats. three-quarter length trousers as these make the leg appear shorter. Trinny & Susanna - The Rules http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=859 To appear shorter: ?A dark top worn with lighter bottoms shortens you only in that it brings the attention to the lower half of your body. The eye always goes to the lightest area; the lightest colored part of anything stands out above and beyond the dark tones. It also places the emphasis upon the hip line, making it appear wider and larger. Do you want your lower half emphasized over and above all of your other features? Another pertinent drawback to wearing a dark top with lighter bottoms is this: the dark top (dark color worn on the top only) minimizes your bust line, which in turn can distort your overall proportion. For example, if you are small busted, you appear even more so, and your hips appear even larger. Wear this look only if you have a generous bosom and if you have small or narrow hips.? http://www.bluesuitmom.com/career/powerimage/tall.html Shoes with straps shortens your legs. http://www.be.young.dsl.pipex.com/fashion/fashin-shape.htm Baggy slacks or jeans will also make your silhouette appear shorter. http://gourmet.sympatico.ca/bellemag/fashion/silhouette.htm ?Turned up trousers make your legs appear shorter.? http://www.the-glades-bromley.co.uk/pages/news/details.mhtml?id=12 More tips: ?You should choose separates and in particular pick tops that are long in length (below the waist) and cover the tops of your legs. These will give the appearance that you legs are shorter than they actually are. Select trousers that have a cuffed appearance round the bottom; this will make the actual length of the trousers seem much shorter. Capri and three-quarter length trousers a can be worn but make sure they fit in the right places on your legs so that you don't look like they are too short for you.? http://www.uniquelywoman.co.uk/fashion_tips_tall_women's_clothing.htm To appear shorter, jackets or tops should fall below the hips. http://www.seasonsindia.com/beauty/fashion_sea.htm ----------------------------------------- Butt If your bum is small and pert you probably happy with showing it off, but if you feel its non-existent then; ?Wear an a-line skirt as they make small bottoms appear larger. Wear lighter colours on the bottom to accentuate the bum area. Avoid tight, straight-legged trousers which emphasize the lack of bum Wear trousers with side pockets as these will make you look wider.? Trinny & Susanna - The Rules http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=859 Jeans ?Round out your shape in pocket less, light-colored denim. A sweetheart waist-band also adds curves.? "Patchwork designs that break up your silhouette and make you appear shorter." http://www.thefabricofourlives.com/mc/homepage.cfm?PageID=106&SectionID=7 ?For a casual look such as jeans and a top, be sure to choose hip-huggers that emphasize the curves of your hips. There's absolutely no need to wear padded underpants, all you need is a waistline that hugs the widest part of your hips, and a few strategic pockets. Side pockets visually widen your hips, and surprisingly, the lack of pockets at the back makes your butt look rounder and bigger. So take note of these when you buy jeans or pants.? http://experts.about.com/q/1572/3104226.htm ?Small back jean pockets can make your butt look bigger than it really is.? http://goldsea.com/Poll/Fashion/fashion.html "Smaller than normal pockets make your butt look BIGGER." http://www.avocado8.com/blog/archives/000082.html Pleats add pounds.
