Even if she doesn't like to admit it, every woman can think of a "problem area" when it comes to her body. In this episode of "My Body, My Style" our model Katherine divulges that it is her pesky midsection that gives her pause. (Who can't relate to that, ladies?) Fortunately, fashion guru Sam Saboura knows all the tricks when it comes to concealing a full tummy.

Saboura recommends that women who share Katherine's predicament wear prints that are in tune with the rest of their body. Specifically, taller, fuller women should opt for bigger patterns while small, petite women should choose tinier patterns.

The end result to Katherine's cardigan-blouse-pencil skirt-combo? "I love it," she says. "I can see myself wearing this a lot."

Whether you're pear shaped, have a long torso, or are full-figured, you won't want to miss the rest of our tips for finding the best clothes for your shape, in the "My Body, My Style" series.

Well I am truely amazed at the results. She really looks wonderful in her makeover. I am 58 and have the same problem. I noticed that white top was not stuck to her mid section. I have the problem that the top fits all over but is always tight in the mid section.
I just wish Sam would tell us where we could shop for these outfits.

Did you notice she not only tried on the clothes, she also stopped off at a solon and had her hair done and her makeup put on by a makeup artist before returning to show off the STYLE of CLOTHING. Purposely made to look bad at the start and then fabulous after. Anyone who falls for this trick is dumb , plain and simple.,

I'm a younger woman (only 20) on a tight budget. i have recently had a baby but I've never really been a small woman. I want so badly to be able to wear dresses (like a casual summer dress) but i have a hard time finding any that work for me. I have a long torso but its sort of big. And I have wide legs including the calf. So I try long dresses but that only seems to make my waist look wider and if I try shorter dresses my legs look wider. Any adivce?
