Plus size women everywhere are always on the lookout for styles, tips and tricks that will make them appear thinner – but many don’t know that actually working with your shape instead of trying to distort or hide it can create a total body makeover in and of itself. If you are a plus size woman and you are looking for ways to flatter your shape read on to find fabulous ways to work with your curvy figure and create a dazzling silhouette in the process.

The Proper Support Garments

Support garments are a must have for every woman, not just plus size ladies. While they hide it quite well models, actresses and other famous women in the media depend greatly on the correct support garments.

For starters, it’s a good idea for every woman to go to their local lingerie shop or department store and have a professional bra sizing. A recent study showed that nearly 95% of women are wearing the incorrect cup size and band width. The right size bra can make a big difference not only in the way your clothes fit but also in creating a more noticeable waistline.

Another great plus size support garment to keep in your closet is Spanx. Spanx are a brand of pantyhose that Hollywood swears by. Everyone from Opera to Heidi Klum say that they are a must-have item in any woman’s wardrobe. They smooth, shape and tuck in all the right places.

Fitted Clothing

Many plus size women make the mistake of trying to hide beneath tent-like clothing. While it may feel like we are disguising problem areas we are actually drawing more attention to them. Larger clothes actually make you appear larger.

The best clothing for plus size women are those that flatter the figure. Get the right size in everything you buy and don’t be afraid to wear form fitting clothing.

Hooray for Heels

Heels are a great addition to any plus size wardrobe. Not only are heels a sexy alternative to sneakers, they actually elongate your figure making you appear thinner and trimmer. If you have trouble walking in higher heels opt for kitten heels instead. They will help you work your way up to higher styles all while doing their job at making you look fabulous.

Beautiful Beach Glows

Have you ever noticed those diet ads on television? If you pay close attention you will notice that the person in the before and after shots always has a darker tan than they did before the diet. This is a trick that many makeup artists use to enhance the appearance of a shapelier and fitter figure.

While we don’t recommend tanning beds for obvious reasons, faux glows can be just as fabulous as the real deal. We like Victoria’s Secret’s pre-tan scrub and Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa line of sunless tanners. For even application and unstained hands use a pair of latex gloves to apply the lotion to your body.

All tips and tricks aside, when it comes to flaunting your plus size shape the key to looking great is confidence. It’s the sexiest thing you can put on.
