Top 5 Fashion Tips For Apple Figures For Fall 2008 Through
Winter 2009
By Janice Tham

If you have a thick waist and small hips, then you have an
apple shaped body. Don't envy the pear shaped girls and
hourglass figures. You too can look shapely and womanly if you
dress to flatter your figure and Fall 2008 through Winter 2009
fashion has plenty of outfits made just for you.

First of all, unlike a pear shaped girl or hourglass figure, an
apple girl's waist isn't the narrowest part of her torso. That
award goes to her ribcage. So treat the narrowest part of your
ribcase as your waist, and suddenly, you've got curves too.

By bringing the waistline of your dresses and tops to your rib
cage, the effect seen in empire waist clothes, you get a shapely
figure. So focus on empire waist dresses and blouses. They
flatter you.

Now for Fall and Winter 2008, dresses are hot and they skim the
natural waist. Many of them have empire waists. The lace black
dress with long sleeves is in. As is the pretty flowy top with
big sleeves. So girl, this is your season.

1. Start with a new dress. Prints or plain. Colored or neutral.
It doesn't matter, other than the fact that it has a high
waistline and is in a color or colors that flatter you. Animal
print dresses are glamorous and sexy. I saw a stunning dress in
a hot animal print, like a leopard print but with huge spots
instead of tiny ones. It had an empire waist.

2. Detract from you thick waist by drawing the eye to your arms
and legs. You blouse should have full sleeves. The hems of the
sleeves should be full and flowy. A longish blouse or top that
has an empire waist, but flares below to a full hemline is
another plus for you. Pick one such blouse, sheer, or lacy or
made of a velvet or silk. Either way, if it is flowy and full in
the right places, you'll look more feminine in it.

3. Get one of the black lace dresses that are so hot this
season. The black widow look is big this season, thanks in part
to Prada. Pick a black lace dress with full sleeves, with wide
hemlines at the end of each sleeve. Get it in floaty lace, with
an empire waist of course. A full hemline for the skirt wouldn't
hurt either. Make that your de facto little black dress.

4. Load up on the accessories. Wear earrings to draw attention
to your pretty face. Wear bangles to bring the eye to your arms
instead of your waist. Wear stunning shoes. A pretty pair of
high heel shoes, or gorgeous boots that would draw attention to
your legs. Carry a beautiful handbag by day and a jewelled
clutch for the evening. Dress your hair with gorgeous
accessories to draw attention to your luscious locks instead.

5. Get on of this season's pretty belts and use that to cinch
your dresses and jackets at the narrowest part of your ribcage.
Thick or thin, it doesn't matter. Use the belt to turn any dress
into an empire waist dress that makes you look feminine and
shapely.
