Enhance your shape when needed
A tailored dress can add shape or give the illusion of shape. Strapless dresses are great for an hourglass-shape when you go to the opera. A swing or empire dress hides a non-existing waist and looks awesome on women with an apple-shape. A-line dresses and fit-and-flare dresses can add the illusion of hips on inverted triangle body shapes. Straight-up-and-down bodies can gain shape with a tailored sheath. V-necks and vertical lines like princess seams give the illusion of height and have a slimming effect.

Shoes make or break a look
Wear heels that you can walk in with grace and comfortably to look fit and hip. A chic wedge heel or sturdy heel – thanks goodness they are a big trend right now – is much easier to walk in than a stiletto. A wedge or sturdy heel looks self-confident, but still sexy with a deep vamp.
A heel you can walk on is more sexy than a sky-high stiletto on which you wobble. #shoelove Click To TweetBe aware: Red adds weight
Go for a muted red or dark red when you don’t want to look heavier than you are. Go for a flattering shade of red from your palette when you want to wear red.
