It is very easy to hide a few extra pounds that you can’t seem to get rid of. Have you ever tried on a body slip? It smooths everything for that body conscious look and they come in half slips to wear under pencil skirts and full body slips for that form fitted dress.
Another trick to hiding a few pounds is to wear light layers of, say a tank top along with an open blouse. Shoes too can give a sleek look and stilettos will do the trick. Sandals with at least 2 1/2 in heels will work also as will pumps. Another thoughts is a pant suit that is one color. If your bottom is more than you want, then choose longer jackets that end below your rump.
One way to cheat the eyes is proportion. You read right, although it sounds to go to be true, a square over sized handbag, which compliments a rounder figure, will give an illusions of slimness. Just be sure the purse strap will allow you to wear it below or above your problem area. In other words, the purse should never rest on your hips.
