What do you need

The curvaceous figure is often considered the splendor of the feminine ideal. A woman with a curvaceous figure usually has an hourglass-shaped body. They have an equally dominant bust and hips over a narrow waist. If you have a curvy figure, you should choose details that accentuate your waist and balance your upper and lower body.

Steps

Method 1 of 7: Tips for choosing a top

Pay attention to how the clothes fit you. Look for tops that emphasize a narrow waist and a curvy bust, but avoid tees that add too much volume to the top, unless you intend to combine them with bulky details at the bottom.

1 Opt for more fitted tops over loose-fitting sweatshirts.
2 Consider the Empire-style tops. The high waist wraps around the tightest part of the waist to accentuate your curves.
3 Look for tops with a belt. A wide belt is another way to draw attention to your narrow waist, some tops come with a belt.
4 Add a belt to the top if not included. Buy a regular top, such as a pipe top, knit top, or long-sleeved blouse. Find suitable cuts. Tie a wide belt or ribbon around your waist.
5 Consider a wrap style top. These tops also wrap around the waist, showing off all your curves.
6 Wear only tight shirts and avoid loose fitting. Look for shirts that fit around your waist.
7 Try a shirt that adds volume to your shoulders and bust, such as a tight-fitting high-waisted blouse or a flowing blouse with a strap. Always go for fitted shirts, even loose fit like these. Make sure to match a voluminous bottom to a voluminous top to maintain the proportions of the curves.

Method 2 of 7: Tips for Choosing a Jacket

A properly fitted jacket will help you accentuate the top without unbalancing it with the bottom.

1 Look for a fitted, fitted blazer that lines up to the hips.
2 Choose a jacket according to your height.
- It is better for short women to choose a short jacket, while tall women can think of a longer jacket.
3 Choose a jacket with one line of buttons, a jacket with two rows will add unwanted volume and ruin the entire silhouette.
4 Avoid wearing blazers with too many pockets or extra details that can add volume to your shape and waist.

Method 3 of 7: Tips for choosing pants

Look for pants that maintain balance no matter what top you wear.

1 Look for trousers with a wide belt that will accentuate your waist.
2 Choose a pair of straight pants to wear with a fitted top.
3 Choose cargo pants with side pockets to maintain your silhouette when wearing a loose top.
4 Pants with a bell bottom are the most versatile. Opt for trousers that are not overly flared to balance your curvy thighs.
5 Avoid straps, pockets, or other parts on the hips or back. These details will only add volume to you, spoiling the balance of the silhouette.
6 Consider dark jeans for a slimmer look.

Method 4 of 7: Tips for choosing a skirt

Choose your skirt as you chose your pants. Think back to the details that balanced your top and pair with a cut that would accentuate your figure.

1 A cascading, form-fitting pencil skirt or other with a slit that slims your figure. A high-rise skirt is especially suitable in this case.
2 Look for a fitted skirt that is flared or ruffled if you are going to wear it with a loose top.
3 A pair of long A-shaped skirts with a long top will add volume to your shoulders and bust. A long skirt will add volume to your hips and will look harmonious with a loose top.

Method 5 of 7: Tips for Choosing a Dress

When it comes to dresses, there is a wide selection of cuts and styles that fit well on a curvy figure. Be guided by the principle that the top should be combined with the bottom, and these rules should be applied to one-piece dresses as well.

1 Look for a form-fitting dress that will accentuate your waist and balance the top and bottom of your body.
2 Consider dresses with a corset that visually divides the figure into a bottom and top. Typical of these dresses is a beautiful dividing line or an eye-catching silhouette at the thinnest part of your waist.
3 Try on a wrap or high-waisted dress. Both dress styles fit the waist, making it even thinner, which emphasizes the upper and lower curves of the body.
4 Look for form-fitting dresses with a diagonal or offset neckline to show off your legs and add a little bit of interest to your outfit. Make sure to choose a dress that wraps around your waist, hips and falls down loosely.

Method 6 of 7: Pay attention to the neckline

The right neckline can also work wonders and perfect your figure. Pay special attention to every jacket and dress you try on.

1 Try a low square neckline or boat neckline to accentuate your bust.
2 Wear tops with a V-neck, it will accentuate your bust too.
3 Try the Angelica neckline. Tops and dresses like these will accentuate your collarbones.
4 Avoid high necklines like turtlenecks. This will distract attention from the waist and worsen the silhouette instead of showing it in the best light.

Method 7 of 7: Choose the Right Material and Model

The material and model of the garment plays a big role in how your clothes will fit. Look for material that fits your shapes, and stick to simple colors and patterns to keep the balance in place.

1 Look for natural and soft fabrics that fit your shape.
2 Avoid hard fabrics. This fabric will not hug your figure and your curves will eventually be hidden in the folds.
3 Consider tops with vertical stripes. Vertical stripes lengthen your body and can also draw attention to your narrow waist.
4 Stay away from bold and lively patterns such as oversized floral prints, large dots, or geometric patterns. These prints can upset the balance of your figure.
5 Stick to simple patterns such as light vertical stripes.
6 Choose strong shades, especially for dresses. Solid or two-tone dresses are perfect for a curvy figure.
7 Stay away from dresses with heavy beading, sequins, or other embellishments. These additional details will only add dimension to your shapes, and this is not always for the best.

Tips

If possible, try on clothes before buying them. Some clothes may fit according to all the rules and principles of fitting clothes to your figure, but when you try them on, the fabric may not fit on you the way you expect, and fit the figure in the wrong places.
Visually lengthen your legs by wearing high heels. Many women with curvaceous forms have long legs, slender legs are a sin not to show. Even if your legs are not so slim, you can safely lengthen the line of your legs with the help of heels.
