Plus Size Myths


                                                                    “I CAN'T horizontal WEAR STRIPES” Myth! 

I know we don't carry Plus Size clothing as of yet but we can still give style tips!! Plus size woman can wear stripes, and wear them well! After all, horizontal stripes have become a perennial favorite in fashion collections. Vertical stripes are an obvious slimmer. They elongate the body and make you look longer AND leaner. The more common horizontal strip is said to make you look wider. It's the horizontal wide stripe women try to avoid. It's true, a wide horizontal stripe typically has a panel sifting right in the stomach creating that wide effect. BUT WAIT, narrow horizontal stripes does the figure just fine! Also when wearing a horizontal stripe use accents to create illusions. Like a bold skinny belt to create a waistline or do a black and white stripes that contrast each other. 

-Avoid a stripe that goes right across the tummy area
-Use accents
-Contrast, Contrast, CONTRAST!
