Belt Your Waist! This one style trick can make you look slimmer instantly.
Wonders For Your Changing Body:
Belting your waist is my top choice for Fashion Secret Three. It t can do wonders for your changing body. Because it balances your curves and creates an illusion of a waist (if you feel you don’t have one anymore), it disguises your tummy and makes your legs look longer.Â
“If you are short-waisted opt for a medium width belt, but not skinny.”
I know, this almost sounds too good to be true. But I have used this trick on so many women of different body shapes and sizes and it works like magic.Â
If you have tried belting before and you think it doesn’t work for you, it’s probably because there are a few tricks to getting it right. Â
You need to place the belt high up into your waist. I see this mistake time and time again. If you place the belt too low, it will just emphasize your tummy and make your whole midsection look wider.Â
The ideal width of the belt will depend on your body shape. If you have a long torso, a wide belt works wonders. If you are short-waisted opt for a medium width belt, but not skinny. Skinny seldom does the trick.Â
The “Belt Your Waist” Fashion Secret Works:
If you feel you don’t have enough a waist to belt, my first guess is that you may need to get measured for bras. Often women think they don’t have a waist, but often the bra is the culprit. A bra that has your girls hanging too low will make you appear waistless.
Before you go out, check your backside: When you belt a loose dress or top, make sure you check where the volume goes. You want to ensure the volume is evenly spaced and not landing all on one of your bum cheeks. That isn’t the best look. To see the method that works best, watch the video below.
Belting works best on tops and dresses that are narrower at the waist and flared at the hem. If your dress or top is just a block, belting can just add extra volume and won’t give you a slimming effect.
