FASHION TIPS
SIZE 18+? Don't despair, you can wear brighter colours, and necklines don't all have to be V's!
Necklines for larger women size 18 + If you are a larger lady and think that you can only look good in a v neckline, then think again! You could also look wonderful in sweetheart, cowls, scoop and crossover necklines.
Things to look for * Create space with a large open necklines. * Wear 3/4 sleeves, or no sleeves. * Choose matt and plain fabrics. * Wear interesting jewellery to draw the eye up. * Buy professionally fitted underwear. * Select softer fabrics which drape. * Pick jackets with a top button level with your bust, or above.

Remember if you look good you feel good! If weight is an issue the important thing is to look good now, rather than putting your life on hold or being obsessed with being a size 12!
