A one-piece body slimmer will create a sleek look under your figure-hugging dresses.  Click here to shop for one.
Try on all of your favorite clothes. Take notes on how they fit and flatter you. Then shop for similar colors, fabrics, shapes and lengths.
A great fit can make an outfit, just as a poor fit can break it!
A well-cut suit is one of the most flattering outfits you can own. Remember: dark tones create a long line.
Select flat knit, fine rib and jersey tops; Choose pants with flapless pockets, flat fronts with just enough stretch for added comfort.
  
Any color worn head to toe (monochromatic) in a clean, unbroken line will produce a dynamically slimming effect.  Remember, monochromatic doesn't have to mean boring -- mix textures to keep the look interesting (i.e. knits with leather)
The darker a print's background, the slimmer the look.
A slim v-neck makes the neck appear longer and is usually very flattering.
Boatnecks are great for minimizing waists and hips, while maximizing sexy shoulders.  Caution:  Avoid if you have broad shoulders!
If your legs are fuller inside, try a side slit. If your legs are fuller outside, a mid-front or back slit is a better choice.
  
Bright colors bring attention to an area - make sure you wear them wisely and only on your most flattering body parts.
Make sure that each time you buy a new bra, you are properly fitted with the help of a sales associate at the lingerie or department store. Wearing a properly fitted bra makes you look great and feel much more comfortable.
Proportion can play tricks on the eye.  While an oversized handbag makes a great accessory, a small handbag will make your figure appear larger.  Choose a shape that flatters (ie: square shapes compliment a round figure) and make sure the strap length doesn't land in a problem area (ie: don't let the bottom of the purse rest on full hips).
If you are petite (5'3" or under) make sure you scale everything down -- smaller prints, pockets, etc. so they don't overpower your figure.
