About This Book
Practical guidance helps fuller-figured readers create a slimmer appearance through clothing, posture, and grooming by applying optical-illusion principles. It explains which lines, silhouettes, and cuts reduce visual bulk and how foundations such as corsets and bras should fit to smooth the figure. Chapters cover selection of fabrics, colors, and trimmings, plus accessories, shoes, stockings, and cosmetics that influence perceived proportions. Detailed advice on remodeling a wardrobe, tailoring techniques, and age-appropriate styles offers adaptable rules for different body types and occasions.
