How to look slim with those extra pounds....
We, the indians have the body type to look best in traditional wear like saree and lehengas. The delicate ensemble suits the indian women the most. Agree!!
But it becomes quite hesitating to wear this revealing yet elegant attire when we gain extra pounds. Some time its the bride to be, or new mothers, or ladies in mid thirties, that they gained weight for some or other reason. But whatever be the reason it comes with frustrating situation when you have to get dressed up in a saree or lehenga.
Today I am going to suggest some tricks and ways to look fab even with flab.
When you have to wear a lehenga
We have so many options to try on a lehenga. Its low waist, high waist, lehenga with long jacket, Lehenga with choli top, South indian Onni style lehenga and so many. But what to choose and why?
hmmm..so first tip is don't go with the flow. Make your own style statement!!
A low waist lehenga and blouse may look good on some one but it may not suit you. So be your own stylist and design and customize your outfit as per your body.
Flarred lehenga with corset style top will not only hide your belly fat and love handles but it gives a lean look. Also its one of the kind to give a sexy sultry look. These tops are normally off shoulder but you can experiment with full sleeves or micro sleeves with this.
An off shoulder corset top will move the focus to upper part and will make you look slim on waist
The bare or partly bare back will add the oomph factor to your attire.
Choli style top with Lehenga is a style statement for all the lovely ladies with heavy build. The appropriately designed top will boost your confidence and glam your look. The Choli top should not be covered with heavy embroidery all over. It will look more neat if you try some fine embroidery over the neckline and bottom.
Not so fitted top given slim look and light embroidered pattern adds grace.
If the top is well fitted it should not go beyond waist line. A line of same embroidery could be done on lehenga waistbelt.
Long jackets and open tops are very IN this season but also looks great on almost all the body types. The length of the tops can be varied as per your choice. But the slit should be done above belly. The jacket should not look fitted on your belly fat as it enhance the bulges.
A no sheer fabric is used for full length jacket. Its stunning and stylish, also hides your bulges.
To hide your belly fat just try a side slit in jacket. It does wonders as here.
Apart from these tips, as we all know that dark colour gives you an extra lean look. You can try on any of the colors like burgundy, maroon, deep purple, fuschia pink, Dark Olive and so many others.
These days we have fantastic innerwears or stretch wear which you can try on under your clothes.
Those will also help you to look great.
A tip for the brides to be - Do exercise, gym but don't starve yourself. You can look even more wonderful and beautiful with your lovely smile and confidence.
