My hates is the tummy rolls that is deeply indented at the belly button.   Please help! - Sara

Answer:

Hi Sara, well, sounds like you do not have a weight problem, because, let me tell you, your weight and height are in a good range. What I don’t know from your letter is how old you are. The reason I ask is because some young women take a little longer to lose there ‘baby fat’ which stores around the belly area.

You might want to check with your doctor to see how you can eliminate that extra roll. That way you won’t have to worry about what to wear all the time.
   

But let’s get back to the question you have about what to wear, with the body you currently have! Your figure type is called round body type. That is your hips, your waist and your chest is the same or almost the same size.

What you want to avoid at all costs are the hip hugger type pants or jeans. And avoid the crop tops, too, they only really look good on girls and women who have a boyish body type. On everyone else they make your butt look bigger than it is! That is why so many girls think they are fat, because the hip-hugger style actually accentuates your bottom. Cameron Diaz looks great in hip huggers only because she has the figure of a boy. No hip, no bustline.

You, on the other hand should opt for slacks that have a little give, spandex or elastic at the waist, otherwise they will cut right into the tummy roll.

Also, choose tops that hang straight down from the bustline, such as a shirt that you leave outside the slacks, or a shell that hangs over the slacks. You can also wear a jacket over the shirt.

Wear all one color when you can. Blue shirt with blue jeans, or black shirt with black slacks. It's  elegant and it makes you look slimmer. Wearing one color on top and another on the bottom, chunks up the body line.   

Avoid slinky, thin fabrics. They will follow the contour of your body, they also accentuate parts you want to hide. Wear cotton, or other crisp materials. Wear t-shirts that have some body of there own, not ones that are flimsy or light. Rayon is a good material to wear if you can find it, light yet good for hiding flaws!
