It's About What's Underneath

For plus size women what we wear underneath our clothes can make or break any outfit.  The challenges of creating smooth lines and taming the bulges of a curvy figure is tough work.   To help you the Curvtique style team has 3 tips to seamless and bulge free looks.

Tip #1 Get a bra that fits and supports in your size!

Your cup should not runith over .  The straps should not leave dents in your shoulders.  Most importantly how does it support you?   Spend the extra time and money to get the bra that is right for you.   Many stores offer fittings.  Invest in basic tone bras that fit even if they are spendy.  You will be thankful everyday when you see how your posture and style is affected.

Tip #2 Protect yourself from VPL (visible panty line)

Today’s styles are hip hugging and tight across the backside so you need to make sure you have the right panties.   Fill your intimate drawer with a variety of styles so you have just the right pair for every outfit.  Try some of the new seamless thong style panties.

Tip# 3  Smooth it all out! 

Use shapewear to help give you smooth lines and take off a few inches.  SPANX are a favorite of many of the plus size stars.  They have a great way of smoothing you out and not creating overflow.
