While we may not have a stylist or tailor on hand while trying on clothes, Kim Kardashian gives some great advice on dressing a curvy body. Her advice is to find a great tailor. Kim tells InStyle magazine…
“Anything you wear should be proportioned to your body, and a good tailor will make sure everything fits perfectly. I either have my tailor at every fitting or I have my stylist pin my wardrobe and take it to the tailor before I wear anything. Shortening a hem line on a dress can make a huge difference!”
We definitely agree that a tailor can really make all the difference in your overall look! A garment that fits well creates a slimmer silhouette and makes you look more put together.
What is your advice for dressing a curvy body?
I like Kim’s advice, but since not everyone will be able to afford a tailor to customize their clothes (though it is certainly worth the $$ for ‘investment’ pieces with a multi-year life like a great suit), I recommend choosing clothing from a store or a label that fits YOUR body best, and then stick with them! I recently found a great pencil dress via a seller on EBay, and the proportions are perfect for me. I’ve now bought a few dresses from this same seller and will continue to go to them as long as the dresses fit me the way they do. Be faithful to your favorite designers / labels / stores and they will reward you with consistently good looks and an easy time choosing what to wear each day! Don’t introduce variety just for variety’s sake!
Hi, being an hourglass shape my self, this is what I would say.
Know your shape
Get a good bra (or banger booster as Gok calls them)
Don`t wear clothes that are too big or shapeless
Always accentuate your waist
Take your clothes in a little to fit the small of your back etc
… and if you find it hard to get good stuff that works for your shape, sew new dresses using your fave ones for measure. That`s what I`ve started doing
.. in any case, sway those hips, and love your self!
