Steer clear from trapeze or a-line tops as well as anything with an empire waistline. You want something fitted, or that is gathered to create the effect of a waist at or below your natural waistline.
TOPS
As for
Surplice or faux wrap style tops and wrap dresses are great Don't be afraid of tops that have a gently elasticized waist or a self-belt at the waist. Instead of adding bulk, it will help create the effect of an hourglass shape.
Having a top with interest – gathers, a ruffle ordrape, a tie neckline, a print – will camouflage your midsection without effort. Prints are our friend as they create an optical illusion.
The most important accessory to wear is confidence. When you feel good, you look good. You stand taller, you have better posture, you rock your outfit, and people notice the whole package, the amazing woman, not one specific body part.
