Curvy? Try a patterned A-line dress

A breezy belted A-line dress is a magical slimming solution for buxom beauties looking to bring out their hourglass shape! The reason: “Dresses that cinch in with a tie that hits about 2 inches below the rib cage help highlight the smallest part of the body, and a slightly flowy skirt skims over trouble spots,” says celebrity stylist Samantha Brown. Especially flattering: spring’s floral prints! The blooms cleverly disguise belly lumps and bumps.
