No Need To Hide That Oval Shape…Dress It With Flattery!
The most difficult shape for women to dress is an oval shape. Oval shaped women have larger tummy areas, no waistline and a fuller bust. Most often they buy oversized clothing that not only doesn’t fit them but makes them look much larger than they actually are. Many plus sized oval shaped women even raid their husband’s closets, which is a major “no-no” in the world of fashion! While it is a clear challenge, there are a few easy tips oval shaped women can use daily to flatter their womanly shape.


Embrace The Empire Waist
Every woman wanted to be a princess when she was growing up, complete with an empire waist gown! Well, today clothing designers are still offering empire waist dresses and shirts for women of all shapes and sizes. They are one of the trendiest items on the racks today, in fact. An empire waist dress or gown is one that cuts in close under the bust area and flairs out in a flowing manner downward from there. It’s the perfect solution for concealing a rounder tummy and can draw the eye upward to the bust area, which will instantly be flattering on an oval shape. We recommend Roamans for this item.


Choose A Shirt or Dress With Rouching
Another piece of clothing that can quickly hide a fuller tummy is a shirt with rouching. The rouching (or ruching) itself can camouflage a mid-section and quickly slim the entire body. Be careful not to choose a shirt that is too tight. A shirt should not cling to your body. Instead, it should skim the body and not show any “body rolls” in either the front or the back area. We recommend Avenue.com for this item.


Structure Creates Waists
If you want to appear to have a waist, when you naturally don’t, you need to look for well-tailored pieces of clothing. Blazers with definition in the waist area are often a great choice. When you want to create proportion it’s important you don’t reach for shapeless clothing. Blazers are a hot trend being paired with skirts and dresses by day and with jeans by night. Thus, a great blazer can adapt to any event you’re attending. Look for a blazer made for a woman and don’t even think about grabbing one made for a man! Blazers that are slightly nipped or tacked in the waist area are a great way to slim the waistline. If you want to draw eyes upward toward your bust area, be sure to wear a low-cut cami underneath your jacket! We recommend One Stop Plus for this item.


V-Neck Tops Draw The Eye Upward
When you have a great bust and want people to not be drawn to your midsection, it’s best to show off what your mother gave you! So, don’t be afraid to wear a v-neck top to accentuate your full bust. You don’t have to show a load of skin but any type of lower cut shirt will automatically draw the eye to your bust and face. Another way to accomplish this task is with an eye-catching necklace. We recommend Jessica London for this item.
