If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I'm not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.
A lot of women lose definition around their waist as they get older, which can mean their bottom half can look shapeless.
I prefer clothes with a waist rather than boxy shapes.
So many women buy these boxy, shapeless jackets. I always tell them to buy a jacket one size too small to get the right fit.
I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.
I'm a die-hard lover of high-waisted skirts with crop tops.
Belts distract the eye from a bloated tummy, a heavy-set upper body and all manner of sins. They can be a superb way to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank, and there's no reason to stop wearing them, ever!
For my body, I like high-waisted jeans because they make your leg look longer and hides this extra thing on my stomach. You can eat extra food with it because it hides, and I like to tuck in my t-shirts.
As always, work with your figure; draping, pleats, and proportion can work miracles when it comes to hiding flaws and enhancing assets.
I've got a Moroccan shape, where the weight goes on around the belly and the bum.
I love a loose-fitting skirt with a cinched waist. A feminine silhouette is a no-stress zone - it's comfortable and I don't have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions!
I think high waist styles are leg lengthening and just keep everything tucked in that you'd like to be tucked in.
The key with a full-skirt shape is to balance it out with a great figure-hugging top.
I've never really had a waist. Even when I was at my slimmest, my silhouette was very straight up, straight down. But I have learnt how to give myself a bit of waist by optical illusion. For this, bring on the belts.
