Re: Dressing to influence

There is a show on Canadian TV, think it is called makeover where they do wonders with women wanting to effect a change overall in their wardrobe and dressing.

You should watch it, I have seen them work miracles with some of these frumpy looking women. Not frumpy in looks really just how they dress. Like a woman wide hip or big belly woman wearing spandex. The advice and the shopping trips I am sure you could get some tips.

I accidentally switched a channel once and came across it and watched it as I was thinking someone should shoot that woman for inflicting personal damage to the clothes she had on.

Tips on if you tall what you should stay away from, if you wide in the hip what you should not wear and colours to saty away from.

btw me dont have any pernonal advice to give

definitely with a blazer and no it wouldn't make you look pregnant. stay away from anything with the waist line too near the boobs tho. good legs get nice treatment from a above the knee skirt with a jacket as well. also invest in pearls and stylish flat, or moderate pumps.

Re: Dressing to influence

trinny &amp; susannah/stacy &amp; clinton would say the opposite, to quote them.

if the person is short, to make the body look taller they would say do empire waists

this makes the legs appear longer and overall taller.
