Flatter Your Figure With Color

InStyle — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:00:22 PDT

We're thrilled to present our favorite InStyle story here on Fab!

Colorful pieces will not only brighten your wardrobe, they can also flatter your shape. Whether you want to accentuate those curves or look slimmer, here are three easy ways you can use color to play up your best assets. For a highlighted waist, pair an LBD with a bright belt like Gabrielle Union. The bold color against a dark backdrop draws eyes to the narrowest part of your midsection. Want to elongate your legs? Place the belt a little bit higher on your waist.

Fab Tip: DIY Shaper Shorts

FabSugar — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 14:00:22 PDT

Shapers: They're not the most beautiful things, but such a necessity! They help stop the jiggle effect, especially when wearing fitted dresses and skirts. The only problem is that they tend to be on the pricier side, especially the Spanx brand. I was helping a friend update her work wardrobe recently when a lightbulb went off in my head. She needed shaper shorts for her new dress but didn't want to spend $50.

To see an inexpensive alternative to shaper shorts,

On my drive home, I was trying to think of a way to halt jiggle while saving moolah for my friend when I had an aha moment: why not take an old pair of control-top pantyhose, like these Hanes High-Waist Control-Top Pantyhose ($7, originally $9) and chop off the legs! That way, you can salvage the control-top portion and use it as makeshift shaper shorts. Use high-waisted pantyhose like these if your tummy is your problem area, or regular rise for strictly tush issues. Just make sure it's sturdy enough to suck you in.

The OverBra Provides Ultimate Lift and Support

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 09:00:22 PST

The OverBra is the new shapewear idea that shapes your bust and accentuates your cleavage. Think of it as a vest for your bra - only it's not meant to be seen. It comes in four styles - original, midriff, longline, slip - and each does a slightly different task. The original, pictured below, is mainly to flatten back bulges and enhance cleavage. The midriff takes care of tummy creases, the longline is good for tummy and hip coverage, and the slip is perfect for under dresses. Since it's a brand-new concept, it's slightly confusing; check out the how to wear it section then see where to buy it. Intrigued or insane?
