This way the smallest part of your body will be accentuated and the fabric over your tummy area will not cling – it will merely float on top.

Read this post for more info.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2007/04/10/dresses-for-pretty-pears/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2007/04/.....tty-pears/</a></p> <p>A wool crepe dress sounds like a suit dress and not the best idea. You want something knee length that’s softer but with enough structure. You’ll need a V or scooped neckline so that your bust has the room that it needs. You’ll want to emphasize the smallest part of your body, which might be under your bust. Is that correct? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-suggestions#post-1459 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 10:37:38 +0000 nancy 1459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 5"6 and I guess most of my weight is in my lower half altho I also feel that I have a larger chest area too. I don't like clingy fabrics which leaves out most wrap dresses these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-suggestions#post-1457 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 03:27:32 +0000 Angie 1457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How tall are you and where do you carry most of your weight? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-dress-suggestions#post-1453 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 03:08:20 +0000 nancy 1453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I need to purchase a basic black dress; maybe in a wool crepe. I am a size 14/16 and in my early 50's. I am looking for the type of dress that would not emphasize my lower half. Any suggestions? I will often see posts on this forum that include actual pictures/sites of diff. items so if you have seen something you think might work, would really welcome the help. </p>
