Fashion with Bairbre Power-Dressing for Unfamiliar Body Shapes
Thursday, 9 April 2009
Tips for anyone dressing for a new shape:
* Play up up your new assets and don't be shy about banishing those baggy clothes and wearing figure hugging clothes
* If you are afraid of totally abandoning your black safety net, then go for a colourful print on a black background
* Be confident about embracing colour and investigate what shades and shapes make you feel good
* Investing in a new wardrobe? Don't buy into trends and avail of the free advice you can get from personal shoppers in most department stores
* There are rich pickings in 'pop up' designer sales and in swop shops as people declutter their wardrobes and make classic clothes your priority over gimmicks and 'in' colours
