Dress for the size you are—not what you want to be or once were! Work with what you have! Own it.
Dress from the inside out. A well-fitting bra and shapewear will camouflage all lumps and bumps.
Clothes should skim your body, not cling to it like sausage casing! Think high-waist, wide trousers, and A-line or flared skirts.
Don't cover your curves! Big clothes on big bodies only make you look bigger.
Skirts should end just before or under the kneecap. Your legs will look longer.
Shorter, fitted jackets will also flatter your legs—and waist.
Avoid elasticized waistbands. They might be comfortable, but they add bulk to your midsection.
Keep necklines open. A deep V- or scoop neck lengthens your neck.
A dress with a belt will cinch you in, focusing attention on your smaller waist.
Wide feet need to be counterbalanced with wide heels. A thinner heel only draws attention to your wider foot.

The American researchers used data from a study of 16,000 women, collecting details of their body measurements and their scores in cognitive tests, they found that those women with a greater difference between the waist and hips, scored significantly higher on the intelligence tests, and so did their children. This suggests that women with an hourglass figure are brighter and have cleverer children, too.
So on top of being sexy we can say that we are more intelligent than the skinny girls.
