Last week, we talked about clothes for different shapes. It continues this week with life changing tips for heavily built women

Hip heavy triangle woman.
A hip heavy triangle and round full figured women can use clothes with vertical lines to make an up and down illusion. V-necks and skirts with slits up the sides are also good.
Clothes with small padded shoulders should be chosen. Big shoulder pads will make you look like a foot ball player. Wear long tops that cover your hips. Choose jackets, tailored suits and shirtwaist dresses with straight, classic cuts.

Lighter colours on top can be worn, this brings eyes up. Wear dark stockings and avoid patterns. Select vertical, fluid patterns and avoid bulky fabrics. Adopt the just below the knee look in dresses and skirts. Choose accessories close to the same colour clothes you are wearing including shoes. This gives your body an unbroken slimmer look. Avoid very wide pinafore skirts. Stay with straight or A line skirts.

Heavily chested woman.
Women with top heavy body types need to choose long jackets without shoulder pads. Do not wear blouses with fancy details and ruffles. Do not wear clingy fabrics on top, choose darker colours on top. Do not wear tops that are too light.
Tops with dolman or raglan sleeves and ones that fit loose and slim down to hug the hips and waist are good. Wear pants or skirts that are pleated to bring the eye down. Choose thin materials like cotton, or cotton jersey. One colour dressing will also be thinning. Flat shoes are best unless you are short and wear heels. If your legs are in good shape, shorter hem lengths will draw attention away from your top.

Rectangular type woman.
The rectangular type can accentuate curves by wearing jackets or tops that hug the waist, feminine thick sweaters over skirts or pants. Use patterns in your tops or bottoms to add dimension. Round out the neckline with necklaces, scarves and other accessories, and use shoulder pads.
