If your size is an extra small (40 european) try wearing an "imperial" cut top - this enhances a slim torso and gives volume to the bust and hips, offering an hour-glass figure.

 

Small size ladies (42) choose a tailored suit (tailleur) with a slim cut fitted jacket (sciancrata) - always trendy and presents a desirable silhouette.

 

Medium size ladies (44) can choose a sophisticated look by wearing a fitted skirt (tubino). A skirt with detail or pleats can give an elongated look, or try a low-cut mini skirt which gives you a lift in the bottom and enhances the torso.

 

Larger size ladies (46) don’t need to avoid white and can choose complete sets, preferably of soft light fabric, such a silk or linen. Give this style a richer look with impressive accessories and experiment with a wide range of colours.

 

For extra large size ladies (48) we recommend flowing blouses, cut in a kaftan or kimono style, worn with soft full length pants or trousers. Our suggestion is to wear dark or warm colours - you need not renounce multi-coloured designs, however we recommend small designs and prints on the pants/trousers.

 

If you have fuller figure, try wearing an accessory like a fashion scarf/wrap (foulard) – which give the figure a gentle harmonious appearance.

 

If you don’t have a high bust line, avoid wearing low or v-neck tops, or even “American” style (midriff) tops. Preferably choose a top with wider shoulder straps and with a square front. Wear this style of top with a simple push-up bra.

 

Very tight trousers and cigarette-cut trousers are a bad choice for someone with a pronounced bottom. Instead, choose trousers that are slightly flared as these make your figure look more balanced.

 

Hipsters aren’t for someone who doesn’t have a toned hips and a flat stomach - you risk increasing the appearance of your shape. Instead choose higher-cut pants for a longer, leaner look.
