True Romance

Butterfly effect

Get yourself noticed in soft, delicate chiffon falling elegantly over a wider waistline. Whimsical prints add a young, quirky touch.

In full swing

Don’t think a wide skirt will make your hips look fuller. If it’s cut to twirl it’ll work at hiding them, not enhancing them! Glam it up with a sparkling cardi for evenings out.

Hold me tight

Cinch your waistline even higher to give the illusion of a longer lower body. Plus, it instantly creates a dramatic shape.

On her: Dress (R650) Journey; bodice top (R145) Second Time Around; plaited belt (R189) Accessorize.

Time to blossom

Added textures take pale colours from plain to perfect! Go all out with pleating and origami-like details – they’re modern and trendy for work, but avoid them on top if you have a large bust.

Country comfort

Take a skirt from drab to fab with a tulle or organza underlay. A super-soft sweater adds a luxurious touch. Keep it from looking frumpy with a cinched waist or structured bottom.

Lovers’ lane

Take a stroll in a beautiful printed dress. For a petite shape, a mini dress won’t drown your frame. Accessorize with a fab sling bag.
