How do celebrities Sofia vergara kat dennings and christina Hendricks compliment their figure in so

Nickie

I'm wondering because when I gain weight I'm a similar shape to them. But when I'm like 110 I always feel really fat in everything. I know I shouldn't really feel the way I do because I'm not really fat but it's just like in everything close fitting my stomach looks not the best. It's not the worst but I look boxy. This is why I try to stay 100 lbs and below because I don't like how my body looks over that weight which gives me only a lb over wiggle room which isn't realistic. I just wish I could at least not look that bad in clothing it would help me out a lot more. I've seen these aforementioned and they always have a nice figure outside of just having a nice bust. How do they do it?

Can you use spanx if your waist is smaller? I didn't know kat wore spanx. I'm going to look it up.

Yup, supportive and shaping undergarments. They do amazing things! And great tailored garments. Otherwise those ladies look quite " regular" IMHO

Hi Nickie. I think the women you mentioned look incredible, and yes, they probably do wear supportive undergarments.

I think also they choose styles and proportions that favor their body type and makes them look superb. I know that Sofia has been criticized for wearing the same silhouette on red carpets. But she knows her body and she knows what works on her body so she always looks amazing. I think Kat wears proportions that favor her body as well.

My suggestion would be to look at what they are wearing in terms of styles and proportions. See if similarities begin to jump out at you. Once you see them, start experimenting using their approach.

They have curvy figures but also help themselves using crazy armor like shape wear. They also use really flattering siluettes.

Not a problem. If you squint your eyes and peer at an object, you will see a shape or silhouette. For example, I am peering at my television set and I see a big square. Poor example, but I am in the living room.

Think of silhouette as the shape or proportions of an outfit. An example in my mind is a longer tunic over very skinny pants or jeans. It could also be be a chunky knit sweater over a pencil skirt. If you squint at the outfit, you will begin to see the general outline or shape of the outfit.

I am thinking that the women you mentioned in your post favor a few silhouettes. And in turn those silhouettes favor them. Different silhouettes seem to emphasize different body characteristics. I have long legs. I emphasize their length by wearing full length, skinny silhouettes. The full length makes my legs look long. The skinny makes my legs look fit.

Happy New Year.

Also: tailoring... Custom tailoring of even off the rack items can work wonders.

Yes, tailoring. Celebrities have everything custom tailored to fit perfectly.

Also material. Some materials cling. The material should skim. Why do they make clingy materials? Because it *is* a style. Like in the ghetto, people really like to squeeze their fat. Hahaha! But I'm not joking. Fat is a positive thing in some cultures, an indicator of health, wealth, and happiness. Woe to the scrawny!

Those women put a lot of weight around breasts, hips and tights before they got belly, but even when your extra pounds go to the right places they will still be a lot more soft/"jelly-like" than a thin, more muscular figure. And that's unflattering even if your shape is gorgeous.

First, good underwear will be even more necessary than usual. Big breasts and/or short waist will create this "boxy" feeling even if you have a small waist, so you will need a really perfect fitting bra. Second, spanx under thin fabrics won't create shape since shape is already there, but it will help you to get hid of any undesired marks and hide any "jelly"/softness.

And last, you will need to get things tailored or made on demand so that they will really fit. If you find a good seamstress treat here absolutely well and never let her go S2
