5 important rules for dressing a curvy body

Ugandan women are still some of those that still embrace their curves. We love our heritage that’s for sure. Embracing your curves starts with dressing them right. This is not as easy as it sounds. Not many ladies know how to dress their curves right.

Here are five important rules you should follow if you want to  dress your curves right.

1. Prints and patterns work perfectly

Unlike popular belief, you can wear your printed skirt in every way possible. Just pick up a silhouette that is perfect for your shape. Remember that the printed detail draws attention to your body which can be flattering. The trick is finding that print that is perfect for your shape.

2. Fitting into a dress that is a size smaller doesn’t work

Many young ladies try as much as possible to dress up in slim tight skirts and dresses. They think that dressing up in outfits which are a size smaller will do the magic. This is totally false and hugely unflattering. Look for that outfit that is your size. It is the only one you’ll look good in.

3. Stick to material that stretches

Strechy fabric such as leather is very flattering. Your curves will stand out with these.  Anything that tries to suck them up makes you a little fatter than you are. That’s a fact.

4. Don’t show off too much skin

While our friends who are less curvy enjoy dressing up in micro mini outfits, that is not an option for the curvy woman. Every time you try to show off too much skin, you are going to look really bad. It is then that you’ll show off all your flaws. Stick to midi skirts and dresses or anything that goes slightly above the knees.

5. Leave your bust alone

Many of us think that the bust is the only area where the magic comes from but that is not true. There’s a lot to work with. For example high heels make you slimmer and a lot taller. You can work with your hair and accessories too. That belt you love so much is going to draw attention to your bust instead of your hips if you have wrong colours on.
