    sorry but the chiffon outfits I have seen in shops have had under slips and cami's with them............. hardly see through.

    I'm just giving a tip as I saw it............ seen people of all shapes and sizes wearing chiffon and it looks good on them:D


    Then you and I obviously have VERY different ideas as to what looks nice! ;)

    Im a size 6-8, and chiffon isnt even flattering on me....
    You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....

    Chiffon's OK as a cover up for larger ladies -
    until they get the light behind them....

    THATS my point! It doesnt cover anything! You just believe it does when you're wearing it! But trust me, you can see it all.... Cami or no cami.

    Chiffon should be banned god dammit!

    Each to their own........... I've got quite a few tops and skirts and I'm size 8 and they look good on me!

    Nothing to do with age or size..... to me its the way you put it together.

    A friend of mine is a 16........... she looks fantastic in some of the chiffon tops she has!
    total airhead, total bimbo, very superficial:D

    A bra that fits properly and gives good support and shape, there is nothing worse than
    spillage.


    Oh and avoid tight t-shirts if you have a bit of a belly

    Wide leg, or flared Dark/Black jeans can slim wide hips. (I should know!)

    I still cant get over how many people seem to think its ok to go out with their gut on show. More and more these days Im seeing young girls go out with tops so tight that you can see the outline of their bellybotton sticking out.
    General rule of thumb is that if you can see your bellybutton outline, then your top is WAYYYY too tight!

    Most important thing about style, is make it you're own, dont imitate. Wear what you feel comfortable in and makes you feel good about yourself. And please DONT over customise with haberdashery. I think Gok sometimes goes over board.Often the simplest things are more alluring.

    My tips aren't very useful to you fashionistas but coming from a town with the largest concentration of chavs in the world it just has to be said:

    Sportswear: Please confine it to the gym, it's not big, not smart or clever to wear it down Wetherspoons or around the town centre.

    When you wear a backless top always hold up a mirror and get a good view of your back - visible bras are bad and grubby off-white ones under a sexy black top even more offensive.

    Perspex platform shoes are fine in the bedroom or if you're a lapdancer but NOT when you're in New Look with a buggy in tow.

    Another thing that is gross is big ladies with pair or legging on that are not even covering there stomach, and just to top it all the t-shirt is too short so there belly is on show for all to see :D
