Body Image Makeovers
The Oprah Winfrey Show  |  March 14, 2008
Carson helps Anita find flattering clothes.


Carson has Anita try on a shape-flattering patterned wrap dress to accentuate her figure. "This is knit, and this is great because it's body hugging in all the right places, and it's forgiving in the right places," Carson says.

"I love it. It's just—I feel free," Anita says.

Carson chooses a jacket with a large print to camouflage her midriff, and Anita says she doesn't notice her stomach at all! "It's a nonissue," Carson says.

To make Anita feel taller and leaner, Carson chooses a long, green jacket. "When you feel short-waisted, which you are, you tend to wear very short garments, and that only accentuates your boxiness," Carson says. "If you just wear longer, more column-like things, it just makes you look longer. It's like magic, isn't it?"
