Keys to Elongate and Slenderize Your Figure:

The ultimate goal is to create the illusion of a more slender and elongated silhouette.  There are several keys to accomplishing this in the midst of any fashion trend.  

Exposing slender areas of the body – Regardless of our size, certain parts of the body are more slender then the rest.  These areas are ................................................................................................

Vertical Lines – Strong vertical lines draw the eye from head to toe, downplaying the waistline and creating a long, more slender silhouette.  Vertical lines can be created many ways.  Here are several suggestions:

• A long skirt with .......................................................................................................................;
• Buttons ......................................................................................................................................
    

Black – is always slenderizing.  The basic black dress should be a staple in every woman’s closet.  Black continues to be hot this season and when worn in the more generous challenge areas of the body, does a great job of camouflage.

Tackling Challenge Areas:

In addition to understanding which body type category you fall into, you must also pay attention to specific areas of the body that may cause our appearance to seem out of balance.  From a long or short waist to a small or large bust, there are ‘challenge areas’ that can be camouflaged to assist in creating a more balanced silhouette. 
  
Long Torso:

Clothing Recommendations
  
The key to selecting clothing that is flattering for your figure is to create balance.  The hourglass is the most balanced of the body types.  The right clothing can make your figure appear more like an hourglass.
  
For Inverted Triangle body type, we will create balance by lengthening the upper torso, de-emphasizing the broad shoulders and drawing attention to your slender hips and legs.  Our clothing recommendations are as follows:
  
Bottoms:

• Your figure is complimented by most skirt and pants styles. 
• Avoid bulky, gathered waistbands.  They will bring attention to the waist area and make the lower body appear more slender.  This will bring the hip area further out of balance with the broader shoulder area. 
• Wear skirts and pants that have details such as patch pockets or belts at the hip area to visually broaden this area and bring it more into balance with your shoulders.  
   

Skirts:

• Skirts are a good choice in flattering your figure. 

•  A skirt that is straight and slightly flares toward the bottom will create interest and flatter your more narrow lower body.

• Wrap/sarong and A-line skirts will bring attention to your lower body and bring it into balance with your broader upper body. 

• Tailored and tapered skirts are slenderizing on your figure.

Pants:

• You can wear just about any style of pants but several are most flattering............ 

• Straight legged, ..........................................

• A soft, ....................................................................

• Semi-fitted ......................................
    

 Tops:

• Avoid tight fitting tops that will emphasize your broader upper body. 
• Select tops and dresses with a soft sleeve.  A tightly fitted sleeve will make your shoulder area appear wider than it is. 
• Loose, unstructured, fluid tops will soften your look and de-emphasize your broad shoulders.
• Never use shoulder pads.
• A soft, open neckline will elongate your neck area and make your upper torso appear slimmer.  V-neck, u-neck, sweetheart necklines, and keyhole styles are all very flattering on you.
• Avoid double breasted jackets and dresses.  They will make you appear boxy and visually widen your upper torso.
• Avoid strong horizontal lines.  They will make your upper body appear broad.
• Longer, ¾ length jackets will elongate your upper torso and make you appear slender.  Be sure to pair with straight pants or a shorter skirt to balance the look and camouflage your long waist by emphasizing your legs.
• Avoid boat necks, large lapels, and gathered sleeves which will make your shoulder area appear wider and out of balance with your hip area.

Shirts/Jackets:

• Avoid .............................................

•  A ¾ length ....................................... 

• The men’s over-shirt style ...................................

• Long, loosely fitted ............................................................................

• Over-blouse your tops to soften the waist area.

• A longer, soft waist t-shirt is a good choice to gently hug your curves while slenderizing your upper body.

• While you can wear the traditional .............................................

• A belted ..............................................................

• Avoid a fitted suit jacket and select instead a straight, looser fitting jacket.

Dresses:

• A straight, shift dress will camouflage your longer waist and de-emphasize the broad shoulders.   A shorter version is most flattering.

• A straight coatdress is most flattering on your figure.  The open v-neckline is slimming and the straight cut of the dress camouflages your waist area.  Especially effective if the hemline falls above the knee, exposing your slender legs.

Colors and Prints:

• A jacket in contrasting color paired with a mono-colored top and bottom will visually ...................................................................................................
• Wear ................... or ...................... prints on your upper body to elongate your wider shoulders.   
• Wear prints and brighter colors in your bottoms to draw attention to your slimmer lower body.
• Wear darker or neutral colors on top to slenderize the upper body.
• Avoid ................................................ at the shoulder, midriff, waist or tummy area; they will make your upper torso appear wider. 

Fabrics:

• Select loosely fitted tops in draping, medium weight fabrics such as jersey, knits, crepes, and soft flannel for a softer look.  
• Stretch fabrics and knits are slimming as long as they are not fitted too tightly.
• Lycra and spandex blends will provide a comfortable fit and support for the stomach. 

Accessories:

• Avoid small ............................................................................
• 2-4” heels ..............................................................................
• Your handbag should hang ....................................................
• Your belts should ...................................................................
• Oblong scarves ......................................................................
• Avoid bulky ..............................................................................
• Necklaces ...............................................................................
