Fashion Help for mid twenties girl PLEASE!

SeanX

With Xmas coming up, I really want to pick up some outfits for parties and just casual ones for hanging out too.

The problem is I'm hopeless at dressing for my shape. So I was hoping I could get some help.

I'm a mid twenties girl. I'm quite small in height, just over five foot and I've long straight brown hair.

I'm carrying weight on my stomach and arms (though I do have skinny wrists) and I've 34DD boobs. My legs and butt however are quite slim. The fat I'm carrying seems to be on my chin, stomach and arms.

Thanks for the help in advance. Some links and / or advice would be great. I'm looking for both dresses and tops and jeans or whatever! Anything really!

First off (and with me running the rsik of sounding like Gok Wan) get yourself some good, well fitting underwear; a wonderbra (I'm a 30F and they still work wonders!!), some sucky in knickers and waist clinchers, and instantly, you'll feel better and find clothes will 'sit' on you better.

I'm a massive fan of wrap dresses, and dresses with structure (not too clingy). You seem to be happy with your legs, so show them off, and cover your upper arms if you aren't as happy with them.

Maybe steer away from high necks, round necks if you are a DD+, altho, I do think this rule can be rewritten so some bigger on top ladies can pull off scoop necks when done well..

Maybe even consider a nice fitted strapless dress with a shrug or cardi, that will cover your arms and show off your figure?

Go for V necks and waist belts to cinch in your figure

A little more casual, and covers the arms. Would be nice with dark navy skinny jeans.

We basically have the same shape. Definitely use belts on your waist as the other girl recommended. You can get these pretty much anywhere and they make such a difference. Since you have quite large bust I would say go for vnecks but be careful about how deep the V is, I have 36D bust and even the most casual top can look a little slutty if the neckline is too low. Personally I don't like wrap dresses, I know they are flattering but I feel they are more suited to women in their early 30s plus. Aline skirts are your friend. If you don't like your arms invest in a couple of shrugs/cardigans in basic colors so you can mix and match.
