"Strategies to Looking Slimmer & Flattering Your Full-Figure Body" 

If you're a size 12 or greater then check out my plus size fashion advice and styling tricks that will help you look leaner!
Here you'll find recommended cuts, prints, necklines and styles suited for your plus size body figure. If you're also a petite (5'4" - 163cm short) I also recommend you to take a look at the Petite fashion guide as well. So Why Do You Want to Appear Leaner? Curves are hot, but you need to make sure you look good with them. You want to look curvalicious, not frumpy :-) That means avoiding anything that makes you look bulky and rather focus on smoothing out your lumps and bumps. You don't have to hide them but if you want to look your best, you need to make sure your proportions are balanced and that you've got the curves on all the right places.

Plus Size Fashion Advice: The Golden Style Strategies Trendy plus size outfit from Fashion to Figure Courtesy of Fashion to Figure Your main focus when buying womens plus size clothing is to create a trimmer silhouette that makes the eye go up and down, instead of side to side. For this you need to pay attention to what details you put on your body frame and how you combine the colors of your outfit. Compared to petites you have more space to work with and you can handle bigger details, however, it's extremely important that you select details that are scaled to your body size. Because if you for example put on a dainty necklace, you'll emphasize your large proportions. But on the other hand, you can strategically put on a couple of extra necklace layers to create a fuller look that complements your body scale.
Basically, I recommend you to base your "plus size fashion mantra" on 3 basic golden strategies:

• Ensure proper fit. I know how tempting it is to hide your body in layers and oversized clothes, but they’ll only make you look bigger! Great fit makes sure nothing looks lumpy. Lumpy is frumpy. Your bra is especially important - it has to fit to keep your bust up and eliminate unevenness in your silhouette that will only distract the eye. 
• Get the body scale right. Scaling prints and accessories with your size makes sure you won't look bigger in comparison. 
• Strategically work with prints, shapes and details to make the eye go up and down. Vertical details are your best friends.
