Layer up with fashionable pieces
Make sure you're looking beautiful over the Chistmas period with this trendy plus size fashion tips.
Alla Buinowicz,Taking Shape MD, shares her advice on looking perfect for the festive season.
Give Colour A Chance This Christmas
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard a customer say ‘ooh no I never wear that colour’ but then I get her into the fitting room and trying on all kinds of colours she wouldn’t normally wear and well - the rest is history! My tip is - have a play, step out of your comfort zone and try on new colours – Christmas parties are the perfect time to do that. The right colours for you can make you look healthy and glowing - people will notice and tell you how good you look this festive season.
Layer, Layer, Layer
Many of us have parts of our body that we aren’t fond of - an ample derriere or a pudding tummy are complaints I come across often. The Taking Shape range is full of cleverly designed styles that help take the focus off these extra assets. My tip is, if you layer a long line body tank over trousers it skims lumps & bumps and creates a lean foundation to build an outfit from. Add a printed tunic, vest or top and a piece of chunky jewellery and you have an attractive outfit 
that you’ll feel confident in this Christmas.
Divert The Eye
Straight lines across your body can be less than flattering and accentuate your middle. Mixing the lines, lengths and textures of your clothing this Christmas will create interest in your outfit and distracts the eye. My tip is - try asymmetrical hems, crushed fabrics, and textures such as mesh & lace to create stunning outfits.
