How to Dress Slimmer!

Painting: Salvadore Dali, Mannequin in Barcelona

Here are some dress sense tips to make you look slimmer. Remember though that confidence is everything. Wear that at all times! But for those days when you feel a little vulnerable, these quick tips can help lift you up!

1. Choose dark colors: Think black, grey and charcoal.


2. Choose undergarments wisely: Think control top pantyhose and body shapers.

3. Choose fabrics that don’t cling: (so satin is out), and so is bulky fabric for that matter (leave those heavy wool trousers in the closet).

4. Choose to accessorize: They’ll draw away from the rest of you. Opt for a colorful scarf or long necklace (it adds length to an outfit). Avoid short chunky necklaces.

5. Choose not to oversize: For that day when you’re feeling exceptionally large, avoid carrying over-sized bags or wearing that extra large belt. Keep it all scaled to your size. That way you won’t look large all over.

6. Choose to throw away anything with horizontal lines: While you’re at it, avoid large prints on your outfits as well as large buttons. Keep everything clean cut and minimal. This always creates a cleaner slimmer look.

7. Choose not to wear baggy clothes: They do not make you look slimmer, they make anyone look frumpy. Always opt for tailored clothes that hint at your curves without being too clingy.

8. Choose to flaunt your assets: If you’ve got it flaunt it. Draw attention to a body feature you’re proud of, from big eyes to curvy hips to shapely legs, dress in a way that brings out the best in you.

The Brit Awards took place in London on Wednesday. There were winners and there were losers. You can read about all that somewhere else. What Whimsy ChiChi is interested in is the fashion. I mean, some celebrities dress like crap. All that money and no sense of style. Shameless!

c Lilly Allen and her dad Keith Allen, who said during the show, "I didn't know Robin Hood was so popular". Well, it isn't and neither is what you two are wearing. Guess it's like father like daughter.

James Morrison looks flabbergasted. We're not sure if the poor chap is confused that he's actually won or that he's got Joss Stone all over him. We don't care if James seems to like your outfit Joss, he's too grateful to count. Don't get us started on the hair! Enough said!

Fashion Tip: How to Wear a Sheer Blouse

According to the experts, sheer blouses are suitable for just about anywhere, as long as you wear them in the right way.

Always wear a cami underneath your sheer for the office (lace trimmed is acceptable for the more adventurous).

Team it with a long-sleeve T-shirt and dress it down with jeans for that laid back weekend.

If you are going out for a night on the town, either allow your bra to show (sexy but not really classy), or opt for a strapless corset to accentuate those curves.

Whimsy ChiChi's Dos & Don'ts

DO look tailor-chic with a floor length coat. Opt for a darker color for a more slimming effect.


DO Choose a coat that comes midway to your knees or slightly above, it will make legs look taller.



DON'T go for an eye-catching color unless you have the perfect fit and hem. The bold color will just attract to the imperfections.



DON'T match your purse to your hat. Really!
