Skill level:
Moderately Easy

Instructions

  1. 1

    Purchase clothing that fits well. Avoid clothes that are too tight because they show unwelcome bulges. This makes you appear bigger than you are. Avoid clothes that are too baggy, as they will make you appear bigger as well.

  2. 2

    Dress all in one color, especially black. Loud patterns and bright colors both show bulges rather than concealing them.

  3. 3

    Wear proper undergarments. If your bra or underwear is too small, it creates lumps beneath your clothing.

  4. 4

    Wear an A-line skirt. This type of skirt hugs the hips but gradually widens towards the bottom. An A-line skirt smooths away bulges and makes you look more streamlined.

  5. 5

    Choose pants with long, straight legs. Avoid pleated pants as this adds bulk to your middle and makes you look bigger. Wear heels with the pants so that you will appear taller and slimmer.

  6. 6

    Stick with jackets that are long enough to cover your hips. A long jacket gives your body a slim appearance because it lengthens your body.

  7. 7

    Wear a V-neck blouse to make your neck look longer. A long neck makes you look slimmer all over.

  8. 8

    Take care of yourself. Style your hair, wear jewelry, wear makeup and do your nails. Eat right and exercise. This has the natural benefit of actually making you thinner.
