Comments on: What To Wear: If You’re Curvy http://bodyshapestyle.com/2008/05/19/what-to-wear-if-youre-curvy/ Style your shape and look fabulous Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:03:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: LMS http://bodyshapestyle.com/2008/05/19/what-to-wear-if-youre-curvy/comment-page-1/#comment-5982 LMS Fri, 29 Jul 2011 08:34:16 +0000 http://bodyshapestyle.com/?p=22#comment-5982 Thanks for this, I wonder when our shape will come back into fashion so that when we wear what suits us we don't get labelled a fifties (or seventies!) throwback (if we can find it to buy it!) You've pointed out that this (never-ending) trend for baggy tops with skinny jeans and ballet flats is not our best look and it's true imo! You rightly advise against cropped trousers, but fitted capris to just over the knee can be nice :-) Wish belts were less tricky too, as finding dresses with the right fit at the waist -without being skintight- can be challenging; a 2" belt if it's curved and not too stiff or bulky can work for me... Thanks again for your good advice.

I love the jean Idea I should try it. Because, you said, I'm a rectangle, but all my evidence points to curvy, and an hourglass. The answer I have always hated... But yea, because I'm short, it's good to create the illusion of longer legs. Since I’m big on top and big on the bottom. I love the jean Idea I should try it.

It's not the best but by far the worst short women (like me) can wear. You gave here an example of Trinny&Susannah's body shapes and they point-blank say the same. The trousers need to be long and WIDE at the bottom. In trousers like those above, legs are exposed exactly as they are, which is short, unfortunately. http://www.trinnyandsusannah.com/rules/shortlegs/trousers Yeah, everything’s great but.. the jeans.
