How to Embrace Your Curves with Science
We adore Marilyn Monroe. The sparkle in her eye, that infectious smile, those fabulous curves, the platinum blond hair, the flirtatious pouty way she spoke her lines in all her films… Several years ago, we heard the trend in Spain was headed towards curvaceous models on the runway. And now even commercials are embracing the woman’s curvy body and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue focuses on the curvier woman.
Marilyn embraced her curves, and so should we.
Let us help you learn to enjoy yours. When we work with women who have curves and hide themselves under over sized clothing, the result is that they end up looking bigger than they really are. We get to watch the transformation happen right in front of our eyes when they put on a pencil skirt and a fitted top or a flattering dress that reveals their amazing curves. At first, most women tend to resist. Then they begin to see how sexy, powerful and truly beautiful they look. We see confidence grow in their posture and they begin to see themselves in a new way. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
A few pointers on dressing your curves:
Balance your body by accentuating your waist.
Show off those knees and legs if they are a strong point of yours.
A little cleavage can go a long way.
Wrap tops, pencil skirts and form fitted dresses are always a great way to start dressing for your body type. V-neck wrap tops and dresses draw the eye down the center of your body and honestly ladies, a little cleavage never hurt.
Even if you think pencil skirts would never ever work for your body type, trust me, try one. I bet most of you can knock their socks off in one!
Did you ever see Marilyn in baggy over-sized clothes? No! She was always in something that revealed and accentuated her curvaceous size 12 body and she looked GORGEOUS. Our motto is, if you got them, flaunt them.
If you love items in your closet but they just don’t flatter your curves perfectly, let us help you decide which clothes to have tailored and which to give away. We’ll also help you develop a comprehensive shopping list for adding to and updating your beautiful, curvy look.
