Flaw-Covering Fashion

The first step was teaching Terry how to wear a bra that helps create the illusion of a waist by uplifting the breasts. Susannah says her gathered shirt is also key. "You don't know what's the fat and what's the fabric. And we've got the trousers going across the middle of the belly which reduces the size."

Other tummy-trimming tricks: wrap dresses, low-waisted skirts, and jeans one size too big. Avoid: short T-shirts, pleated pants and belted jackets.
