Cut AND material matter

Cut AND material matter

A dress like this Nicole Miller Cap Sleeve Stretch Rayon Jersey Dress, $220 at Nordstrom, is a fabulous cut for your figure, but you need to be wary of the fabric. Any material that clings or hangs too heavily is going to do you no favors -- it'll lay and pull on whatever happens to be sticking out. You can try wearing slimming undergarments to keep a smooth line, but you'll want to be careful.
