No - that's why they look so put together. Take some time to select your clothing and accessories every day. Do it the night before or early morning when you have enough time to be creative. Pre-plan!

Size doesn't mean a thing, fit does. Choose for drape and comfort, not for a predetermined size. You'll look better and feel better.

Yes! Yes!
¨ Choose soft fabrics that drape over curves and flow comfortably
¨ A V-neck creates a vertical line and helps balance a round face
¨ If you love knits, choose a weight and size that skims you without clinging
¨ If you have a full bosom, look for simple bodices. A long scarf or necklace will catch the eye and minimize the size
¨ Shoulders are critical to plus size women. It's important to wear a bit of shoulder padding to balance your lower half. Stay away from shoulders too square or too large or droopy, as you will look sloppy. Experiment with pads for your best look
¨ Wear a jacket longer than the widest part of your derriere
¨ Pins should be worn close to the face not down on the bustline. Try moving your pins up on your shoulder 2-3 inches. You'll be surprised at the difference.

Yikes!
¨ No one knows what size you wear, but they do know if your clothes fit
¨ Related colors are more becoming. A lavender top with purple pants is more flattering than a white top with purple. The higher the contrast, the wider you look
¨ Big busted? Skip the pockets at the bust and choker jewelry
¨ Big hips? Wear a belt to cinch your waist only if you have a vest or jacket over it to de-emphasize hips
¨ Too short or a sleeve shows those "bye-bye" bags most of us carry on our underarms. Go for a longer sleeve or a wider one for balance

Pants Length
¨ Go for the crotch! Crotch fit, that is. Look for petite brands if you are shorter than 5'3". However, if you are only short in the inseam, a good seamstress can alter those legs to fit you perfectly
¨ Need a wider leg, look for Elisabeth brand jeans and pants - they are generally cut fuller in the thigh and calf
¨ Sit down in a new pair of pants before purchasing - you might be surprised at how it changes your mind about your choice
¨ Waistbands shouldn't dip down in back. You need to find a different style if this is happening.

Skirt Length
¨ To find a good length, hold a scarf in front of your legs. Look at yourself in a full-length mirror. Start at your ankles and slowly raise the scarf up a bit at a time until you find the most flattering point on your leg. Generally, this is just above or below the widest part of your calf. Measure it so you can shop armed with that information. If you like your skirts long, measure your favorite and match that when shopping
¨ Pockets should lie closed without pulling open. If you are broad through the hips, you may want to avoid pockets or have them sewn shut.
¨ Many lightweight unlined skirts require a slip. It's a good investment to buy the best ones you can in a few different lengths. Don't try to roll at the waistline for a shorter skirt. It just adds bulk to your waist and may unroll during the day to show below the hem of your skirt.
