Your Biggest Dressing Dilemmas—Solved!

The Problem: Armpit Fat

Excess flesh in the underarm area that is often worsened by strapless dresses and tank tops (a.k.a. pit chub, side boobs).

The Solution "That bulge is a symptom of a bra that doesn't fit," says Nethero, who believes most women need to go down at least one band size and up one cup size. Bras with side slimmers can also help, adds Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx. Says Glassman: "Go for sweetheart necklines and tanks with thick straps."

Avoid Strapless dresses that cut straight across the chest, tube tops, too-tight tanks.

"If you wear strapless—and not everyone can—make sure you find the right cut." —Adam
