Women's Before and After Gallery

Here are some examples of ladies wearing the wrong and the right clothes for their body shapes. Even though many of the clothes in the "before" photos are lovely and may look great on someone else, they not right for these particular ladies for the reasons below. In the "after" photos, on the other hand, they are wearing the ideal clothes for them . All these clothes define their best features and draw attention away from those of which they are less fond!

Many thanks to all the ladies who modelled for us:

Annie -Inverted Triangle

Before-Although the colour is right for Annie, this dress is not great for her as it is too tight and emphasises her larger top half and tummy. After-The wrap top flatters the bust and creates a waist whilst the white boot-cut jeans draw the eye downwards to her slim bottom to balance the body shape.

Helen -Slight Triangle

Before - This dress makes Helen look as though she has a rectangular shape as it hangs straight down from her shoulders After -This dress shows off her lovely curves by defining her bust and emphasising her waist. The A line style takes the emphasis off the hips. The colours bring out her eyes perfectly too!

Hilary -Triangle

Before- The shape of the top emphasise Hilary's narrow shoulders and then flares out to accentuate her hips and bottom. The White combats are possibly the worst choice for a Triangle as they make the bottom look twice the size! After-The light coloured fitted jacket draws the eye upwards and emphasises her tiny waist whilst the darker flared dress visually slims the waist and balances the shape.

Julia -Rectangle

Before - This outfit makes Julia's body look boxy and larger than it actually is as the top is probably a size too large. After - This dress (along with a great bra!) creates curves by emphasises the bust and defining the waist and so the figure appears to have more of an hourglass shape

Julie -Small Hourglass

Before- This dress makes Julie's torso look very straight and visually flattens her bust, hides her waist and makes her look larger than she actually is. After-This maxi dress emphasises her bust, and shows off her lovely waist and hips to make the best of her hourglass shape.

Lynn-Hourglass

Before-As this tunic hangs straight down from the bust, it makes Lynne look shapeless and the grey colour does nothing for her warm complexion. After- The wrap top defines her bust, emphasises her small waist and the shapes of the skirt accentuates the curve of her hips perfectly. The warm orange is fabulous on her too!

Maud -Inverted Triangle

Before -The boatneck and tapered shape of this dress makes Maud's bust and tummy appear to merge into one and her bottom half look even smaller. The warm colours are also wrong for her cool complexion. After - The wrap top flatters the bust, creates a waist and the ligher trousers balance the figure by emphasing the bottom half-and so a more hourglass shape is achieved. These bright clolours look great on her too!

Paula-Rectangle/Athletic

Before- This suit hides any trace of Paula's curves and creates a very boxy masculine shape. After- Paula shows how business wear can still be feminine and attractive! This suit's puffed sleeve jacket with a nipped in waist and a fish-tailed pencil skirs all work to create lovely slim hourglass curves

Penny- Rectangle

Before-This suit is a size too large and the boxy shapes makes Penny's body appear very straight and boyish After-The wrap dress (very flattering on most shapes) and a good, uplifting bra, create a still professional, yet ultra feminine look by creating curves in all the right places!

Shan-Round

Before-The polo neck top accentuates Shan's bust and tummy area, giving her torso a very "oval" appearance. Many plus size ladies choose dark, loose clothing but this usually makes you look larger. After- The deep V neck and empire lines of the dress flatter the bust area and emphasise the waist. The shape skims the body but is neither skin-tight or baggy and flatters her shape beautifully as does the rich red colour.

Sophie- Rounded Hourglass

Before- The top is loose and straight and is gathered on the widest part ot the hips, so makes the tummy and bottom appear larger. After- Sophie looks several sizes smaller in this dress! The flattering wrap style emphases her lovely feminine shape by defining her bust and waist and the flared skirt softly skims rather than clings to the hips
