your goal?



Or are you happy with your weight but still want to appear

slimmer? Here are some tips from the experts.

of pockets will make your derriere look larger.

light.

Wear long scarves, dresses that button from neckline to hem.



* Wear shoes with high thin heels.



* Wear a sleeveless top with a wide boat neck to soften a

very full bust.



* Wear one color from head to toe. Dress, or pants and

top, hosiery and shoes all one color.



* Control top pantyhose melts off 5 pounds immediately.



* Wear wrap-around skirts to camouflage a bulging stomach,

hips and derriere.

lighter clothing where you are slimmer.
