Rachel Bilson

Top Trends to try:
Mini Dresses  worn with flats or heels, this will elongate your body

Wide-Leg Trousers or Jeans properly tailored pants like on Rachel will lengthen your legs

Wedges A pair of wedge sandals/heels                                          
under your wide-legged jeans will create
the illusion of a major growth-spurt.                                  


*being short wasted is one of my own issues I struggle with
when shopping for clothes.  Its really important to make sure
when choosing clothes you dont want to be chopping your
already short body in half with what your choose to wear.

** Words of Wisdom Don't avoid the tailors. No matter how cute or expensive something is, if it does't fit properly, its ugly.

Jennifer Lopez

     body: Pearshaped (more downstairs)    

Top trends to try                             

                                           Shirtdresses Style with top-emphasizing details, 

 like breast pockets,will help perfect proportion.

 Straight-leg jeans You can wear skinny jeans with                                                                             longer and or layered tops, but its best to stick with no 

 tapered, straight leg jeans. 

A-line skirts or dress This always popular cut slims 

your hips while hinting at your curves.  Stay away

from thick material we don't want any added volume. 

Large busted

body: large busted (bigger on top)

Top trends to try

Belted dresses+ outer wear Whether its a light 

weight summer dress or winter coat, try adding a 

belt to clinch your waist + create more of an hourglass shape. 

Scoop or square neck tops A high neckline will give an overall appearance of extra weight, 

so stick to lower cut, but tasteful, neckline.  Think below the collarbone but about the 

major cleavage. 

Low-rise jeans  If your try and wear high-waisted pants, all everybody will see 

is boobs and legs.  Instead lengthen your torso with mid or low-rise jeans.

breasted styles- look great on broad shoulders + 

a smaller chest.  They create shape + show off your
