Fashion Tips for Women with a Wider Waistline
While the archetype figure for a woman has a narrow waistline not
every woman has a tiny little waist. This makes shopping for clothes
difficult. However, it is not impossible. The following tips will
help you to find clothing that will flatter a figure that has a
wider waistline.
Fashion Tips for Women with a Wider Waistline #1 – Finding a Good
Fit
The measurements used to size and design clothing are usually based
on standard formulas. Unfortunately, if you don’t have a body that
fits within the dimensions of these standards then you may find it
difficult to find clothing that fits your body properly. If you have
a wider waistline then you may need to take things into your own
hands. First of all find pants and skirts that fit your waist. In
most cases if the item fits your waist then it will be too big in
the hips. To correct this problem you can take your clothing to a
tailor to take the hips in. If you have a straight figure with a
waist measurement and hip measurement that are nearly the same then
you may want to shop for jeans in the men’s department. Their
straight cut will fit your body better then women’s styles will.
When shopping in the men’s department you will need your inseam
measurement and your waist measurement.
Fashion Tips for Women with a Wider Waistline #2 – Shopping for a
Dress
If you are trying to create the illusion of a narrower waistline
then you will want to look for a dress that has an empire waistline.
This waistline will be directly under your bust line, which is the
narrowest part of your torso. This will help to create the illusion
that you have a smaller waist. If you have a wider waistline and
heavy hips then you will want to look for an A-line cut with an
empire waist. This will move the waistline up to your narrowest
point on your torso and it will float away from your trouble areas.
Fashion Tips for Women with a Wider Waistline #3 – Shopping for
Swimwear
When you are shopping for swimwear you will want to pay attention to
the overall shape of your body. For example if your waistline is
your biggest concern then you will want to look for a one piece
bathing suit in a solid color that has rueshing at the waist. If you
are bottom heavy then you will want to buy a two piece bathing suit
that offers full coverage. The bottom should be a darker solid
color, and the top should be a brighter patterned piece.
Fashion Tips for Women with a Wider Waistline #4 – Shopping for
Shirts
There are several ways to use a top to create the illusion of a
smaller waist. First of all you can use a wrap, or mock-wrap shirt.
This style of shirt will create the illusion of an hourglass figure.
Next you can look for shirts that have a curve cut into them. This
will, again, help to create the illusion of an hourglass figure.
Finally you can buy a tailored jacket that is cut in under the bust
line and then flares out slightly. This will help to create curves.
