7 tips to make your waist look small and slim
1/ Go Peplum
image

The cinching detail at the waist and the flare-out ruffles make your waistline look smaller. Be sure to avoid ruffles that flare out too much as that would add more volume to your bum.The right amount of ruffles can hide bloated tummies, too.

3/ Belt At Your Waist

Whether you are wearing a dress or a jacket, add a belt around your waistline. Go for one that is around 2.5-inches thick. Anything too wide would bring unnecessary attention to your waistline. If you like thick belts, wear one that is of the same or similar colour to your dress or coat.

5/ Wrap Dresses

This universally flattering dress cinches at the waist and gentle flows out. Look for one with slightly thicker material, a thin material would stick to your skin too, and make any lumps appear more obvious.
