How to buy clothes that fit and look the best, and are comfortable to wear

- You can accentuate your height by wearing high heel shoes with a 1 inch heel. Provided the shoes are comfortable then the higher the heel the taller you will appear.

- To ensure a comfortable fitting bra everytime, get refitted so the size is accurate to your current size.

- Highlight your neckline and shoulders with a boatneck top. This will also contour your waist and accentuate bustline. The boatneck top should be avoided if you have wide shoulders.

- When purchasing womens handbags, large handbags are the best as they flatter your shape and are able to carry more daily essentials. Strapless are preferable rather then straps as they tend to brush constantly against your body.

- Choose womens plus size clothing that has light fabrics and are not bulky or uncomfortable. Preferably clothes that flatter your body and accentuate the bust. Avoid clingy or too baggy as they will distort your figure.
