Style tip no. 3 - cross-body shoulder bags and big boobs don't mix

If you are big busted, avoid cross-body shoulder bags because the strap will inevitably sit between your boobs and possibly hook around just one which is not a good look! If you were using this type of bag for security or to be 'hands free', why not try a 'bum bag' which goes round your waist, or a 'back pack' type bag. There are some gorgeous ones out there for grown up women which won't make you look like you're about to go camping. More style tips here
Style tip no 2 - how to work out the perfect "knee-length" for you...
Stand in front of a long mirror wearing tights (or bare legs) and a top. Take a long piece of fabric (or a towel, if you don’t have fabric) and hold it in front of you like an ankle-length skirt, keeping one end firmly at your waist. As you gradually roll the fabric up, you will see which length is the most flattering for your legs – just on, just above or just below the knee.
If you can get a friend to help, they should measure the length from waist to “hem”; that is your best skirt length. If you wear skirts longer, as a general rule, a hem that hits the widest part of the calf will be the least flattering. Either go longer – midi and maxi are both big trends this season – or wear “your” best knee length, which has become a style classic.
Style tip no. 1 - When pockets get in the way ...
When you stand in front of a mirror, are your trouser pockets standing away so that your silhouette isn’t as streamlined as it could be? lf so, get the pockets stitched up.
If you are a good dressmaker or know someone who is, take the pockets away completely. It’s best not to be using them in any case as they add inches unnecessarily – and we don’t need that!
