Smart tips to ensure a good fit and to achieve an elegant look
Jackets- To ensure that the jackets fit across the shoulders, allow the shoulder seam to be at least 2.5cm wider than the shoulder bone so that there is no pulling across the back - almost everything else can be altered easily so long as there are no major details on the jacket like zippers on the sleeves that need to be taken up
- When buttoned, there should be allowance for a blouse, top or jumper without any pulling across the shoulder or hip or arm
- If the jacket needs extra shaping to define the waistline, you can have it taken in through the back seam - a great way to revamp a jacket if you have lost some weight or updating the look of the jacket
- This is an inexpensive way to achieve an elegant look

Pants
- Buy pants to fit your hips. If they are loose at the waist, have them taken in at the back vertical seam - avoid side pockets for larger hips, it just means that your shoulders are smaller and you can wear fancier tops to draw attention away from your hips
- Pants can always be taken up and the legs tapered slightly to create a bootleg if you are shorter in the leg. This is the most flattering style for all body shapes and elongates the leg.
- Many places are able to take up jeans and keep the original hem. Do this whenever possible
Shirts
- Have bust darts sewn in or darts through the back to give some shape
- Where the sleeves look baggy making the arms look bulkier, have the sleeves taken in through the bottom and the armhole raised.

Skirts
- Straight skirts can be taken in on the sides or back and should not curve under the bottom
- Pleats should never pull open
- There should be no crease or pull across the break of the leg
- Skirts should not ride up when you sit
- The waistband should be loose enough to allow for two fingers to be inserted
- Panty lines should not show in skirts or pants

Essential Items for your Wardrobe
Body Enhancers are a great help no matter what size you are. They pull everything in and up!
a Convertible Nude Bra - they are great because they can criss-cross, be strapless or halter. If you hate strapless bras, a great option is the clear straps. Some convertible bras come with 2 strap options. If not, invest in some Hollywood Clear Bra Straps.
Adjust your bra straps ladies. Lift those boobs up. You will look younger and slimmer.
