Plunging or off the shouldernecklines. Sequins. Keep it Simple Just say no to shiny fabric, bows, or rosettes below thebustline. The key is to get the eye to flow right over yourbelly. Longer lengths are dramatic and slimming. Keep it Soft Find a soft fabric that follows your curves without addingbulk. Think silk, organza, georgette. But make sure it isn'tshapeless.
