Innerwear If you think the problem area is your chest then go for corsets that pull your waist in and give you a beautiful voluptuous look. For those with wider hips and bigger thighs, opt for a cotton lined bodysuit for a more toned figure. ₹959; High waist seamless thigh shaper available on zivame.com

Tops Look for slimming cuts and styles like a cowl neck or a low neckline. Any plus-size woman should avoid high necks and hems that end at the knees to avoid looking bulkier.

Accessories Deep and structured bags that end at your mid thigh make you look slimmer while enhancing your curves best. When it comes to shoes always go for kitten or block heels and long necklaces definitely make you look well put together. Avoid bibs and chokers and big stud earrings as they won't really flatter your body type. ₹1,320; Available on blurstore.com Best places to shop: Asos.com, Westside, Lifestyle, Amazon.in, Jabong.com, Marks & Spencer, Zivame.com
