Find the right fabric

Find the right fabric

A really stiff fabric will jut out if it hits any bulges and accentuate them. A fabric that's too clingy will show every lump and bump on your body. The right fabric, like in this Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati 'Sweetheart' Top, $98 at Nordstrom, should float against your body, showing your curves but not rolls. Before you buy, move around a bit. Sit down, and stand back up, and make sure you don't have to tug any thing back into place.
