Do: Dress By Fit, Not By Size

Today's do is a tough one to do. We get so caught up with the number on the piece of clothing that we lose sight of what matters - getting the right fit.

A major offender in this area is Jessica Simpson. By refusing to wear anything but a certain number size, she looks like a gross sausage in this dress. She looks bigger by wearing a too small dress. She would actually look smaller if she had just gone up a size (or two). The sheath dress is a great idea for a curvy figure like hers, but only if it fits.



Sizing is so different by store (and even within the same store!) that you can't get hung up on it. Look beyond the number and see how the item looks. Sometimes you just have to go up to make sure all your curves fit in right. And if the number is so terrible to look upon, then just cut it out! With a little snip you never have to look at the offending size again, but you will continue to look fabulous by wearing clothing that actually fits you well.
