slimming stripes
Stripes can make you look fatter or thinner. Depending on how they are arranged.
If you are too thin, horizontal stripes are your friends as they make you look wider.
Most of us have the opposite problem and would welcome the slimming effect of vertical stripes or artfully placed diagonal stripes. Unfortunately such dresses are few and far between. Most stripes are horzontal. The designers probably expect all their customers to be a slim as their models. *pout*
After much searchin, I found some printed dresses with stripes that give you a slimminng effect.
For this dress, the stripes are on the border but the cut of the dress itself is slimming.
BCBG Tropical Stripe Border Dress Personally, I love anything slimming. I bought a vertical striped dress which fitted, had a slimming cut and vertical stripes for maximum fat camouflaging effect. Sorry, I got the last piece.
:D
Anyway, here are others that are still available.. if you get them now, that is.
DKNY Jeans Striped Belted Shirtdress Work worthy, party worthy dress that is subtly slimming in a neutral brown. Great for warm skin tones. The stripes are subtle menswear style, while the overall look is feminine.
Diagonal stripes can make your waist look slimmer, especially if they are positioned like the ones in these wrap dresses.

sexy christmas dresses - corset dresses
I dare you to wear a corset dress from Christmas. Even if you can't bring yourself to come out of the room in one.
Corset dresses are an ultra sexy. At the same time, they can be torturous to wear. Especially if you make the most of it and pull the lace so tight your waist becomes impossibly tiny. Kind of sets us women folk backwards. Back to those days when fainting made a woman seem more feminine and women fainted because they could not breathe. Corsets were tightened so much breathing became a challenge. How much are you willing to suffer for beauty?

If you want to go all out sexy, nothing beats a leather corset dress. Like I said. Dare you wear it?
