Fuller & pear - Caryn Franklin's How to Look Good

Introduction
Do’s and Dont’s
As you work your way through this book you will learn how to pick
clothes confidently but first let me empower you immediately with
some key points.
Don’t
Choose clothes that have square silhouettes or shapeless outlines.
The casual shirt and the unisex t-shirt are good examples here.
Reach for colours that come from opposite ends of the spectrum to
wear on your body at the same time.
Select plain flat or matt fabrics that have no personality and are lifeless
to look at or stiff or crisp fabrics that are too inflexible and deprive
your body of any shape at all.
Wear clothes that unwittingly draw attention to the widest or most
dominant part of your body.
Rely upon the limited collections that shops carry.
Do
Choose clothes that will give you subtle definition around the bust.
This means using fitted shapes like soft empire lines and soft knitwear.
Anything that is loose and unfitted around this area will make you look
larger and squarer.
Choose colours from the same colour grouping like browns in rich
chocolate colours complimented by lighter tones and highlighted with
a touch or orange or maroon. There are clearly many groups you can
make depending on your own preferences but what I’m saying is that
a riot of colour, say red, yellow and green all on one body, will not give
you the elongation you need.
