* Shoes with a lower vamp expose more of the foot, for a longer-legged look.
* Body-shaping pantyhose smooth out any "lumps and bumps" on your lower body.
* A spandex-blend camisole (worn over or instead-of a bra) minimize any back bulges.
* Be sure your bra provides enough support - the full point of your bust should rest no lower than halfway between your sternal notch and your navel.
* With any unstructured bodice or sweater, try adding a removable foam shoulder pad to balance any extra fullness in your hips, tummy, bust or upper arm.
* Try pushing up your sleeves -it moves the eye upward away from your hips.
* Add statement earrings - at least the size of a dime - to further anchor attention near your face.
* Keep fabrics soft and drapable, but not clingy.
* Use darker,duller colors on parts of your body you'd like to minimize.
* Use brighter, lighter colors on other areas to create a visual balance.
* For information on camouflaging specific figure challenges, see the LOOKING GOOD book or enroll in one of our all-day Style School sessions.
