What you need to know:

  • The best way to do it is to stand in front of a full length mirror in your underwear and carefully observe yourself from head-to-toe noting the areas you like best, which will be the area’s you play up and what you prefer to deflect attention from.
  • A great derriere should be cased in a below-the-knee pencil skirt or high waist jeans. Bandage dresses look great especially in jersey fabrics. Avoid untucked tops. If you don’t like it, circular skirts work as a great distraction as do straight pants.

As any truly well-dressed woman knows, looking spectacular is a lot more than wearing what’s fashionable. It’s about deciding what areas you want to play up or down and in turn making you feel confident and fabulous. The first step is to know your body completely. Take time and do this right.
