A slim body is the dream of many women. However, if you're skinny "from the start," sometimes you may wish you had a fuller body. Maybe you yearn for a curvy body like a movie star or celebrity. Luckily, you can create curves with just clothes.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Choosing the Right Clothes
Step 1. Wear body-shaping underwear
You can instantly create curves with underwear and shapewear.
- Bras with extra foam and push-up type bras can make breasts bigger and fuller.
- Look for shapewear for the lower body with added foam at the hips or buttocks to create curves in those areas.
Step 2. Choose a top that creates curves
The right clothes can add to the impression of fullness in the chest and hips, as well as streamline the waist so that the body looks more curvy.
- The peplum top tightens at the waist, but expands at the hips. With a peplum top, you can create more curvy hips.
- The neck of the sabrina or hanging over the shoulder will attract attention and create the illusion of an hourglass figure.
- Tops with stacked accents on the neck or chest can add a full impression to the bust area.
- A corset-style top creates an hourglass shape because it accentuates the bust and hips, but slims the waist.
Step 3. Put on a specially sewn jacket or blazer
A blazer that is sewn to your size fits better at the waist. So, your waist will stand out more and your hourglass figure will show. For best results, wear a blazer over a fitted shirt and button it up at the waist.
Step 4. Try high-waisted bottoms
Pants, skirts, and shorts that are higher top tend to be tight at the waist and make the area slimmer. In comparison, the small waistline makes the chest and hips fuller creating the illusion of an hourglass.
Step 5. Try on cutbrai pants or jeans
Wide pants and jeans at the bottom create a fuller look and help disguise an overly thin body.
Details on the back pocket, such as sequins or embroidery, can also create a full effect on the buttocks
Step 6. Choose a fluffy skirt and dress
Skirts and dresses that expand from the waist down help create the impression of more curvy hips. Details like pleats can also add fullness to the hips.
Step 7. Choose a wrap dress
Wrap dresses tend to make the waist appear smaller so that the chest and hips seem bigger. This dress choice is another way to create a more curvy look.
Step 8. Try on an illusion dress
Usually, illusion dresses use light or bright colors in the front, with dark colors on the sides. Such color schemes are sometimes also called color blocking. The dark color panels on the sides will draw attention to the center and help create the hourglass figure.
Step 9. Add the belt
Wearing a belt around the waist can also create the impression of a curvy body. The belt will emphasize a slim waist and make the chest and hips appear fuller.
- The best option for slimming the waistline and creating an hourglass figure is a small belt.
- Try to complement any outfit, such as a dress, fitted sweater or tunic, with a belt
Method 2 of 3: Avoiding Improper Clothing
Step 1. Avoid loose clothing
Loose clothing is generally unattractive to wear on any figure. A thin body can be hidden, but it also won't create a curvy impression.
Step 2. Stay away from bat tops and kimonos
Long and wide sleeves on such a top can drown out a thin body. It also keeps your eyes away from your chest and waist, making it harder for you to give off an hourglass figure.
Step 3. Forget about twins
The bun draws attention to the chest. If your breasts tend to be small, the bras will make the size even more obvious.
Step 4. Avoid spaghetti straps
Tops and dresses with spaghetti straps tend to accentuate the chest area. If your body isn't curvy, spaghetti straps will only emphasize that.
Step 5. Avoid pencil skirts
The pencil skirt is very tight around the body and narrows at the bottom. This type of skirt makes you look thinner when you want the opposite effect.
Step 6. Wear pencil pants or leggings with care
Pencil pants will make skinny or fat legs more pronounced. If you have skinny legs and you want to look more curvy, pencil jeans and leggings aren't the best choice.
Method 3 of 3: Exercising for Curves
Step 1. Do squats
Squats are a great exercise to tone your hips and butt, and help you fit tight jeans in a tight fit.
Step 2. Do the incline chest exercise
Lie on an incline bench, and lift dumbbells or barbells to target the upper chest area. Although the new breast tissue won't grow, you can build the muscle behind the breast tissue and make your chest appear bigger.
Step 3. Target your waist by working your oblique muscles
The oblique muscles are located on both sides of the abdomen. By doing criss-cross or bicycle crunches and other exercises that work the obliques, you can have a smaller waistline. The slim waist helps create the illusion of an hourglass body.
Tips
- If you choose to create curves with exercise, it's a good idea to work with a trainer who can teach you the right way.
- Wearing clothes that add fullness to your chest and hips while reducing your waistline is an easy way to create the illusion of an hourglass body.
- Dresses and tops in bright or abstract patterns add visual interest and keep you from looking too skinny.
