In the current economy, cheap dresses for parties are a great option! If your looking for a particular brand or style I’ve got some of my favourites on the right that you can browse through.

Lots of people are trying to earn some extra money so they auction off their clothes meaning you can snap up a bargain.

You can find most high street brand dresses for sale on ebay at a fraction of the prices in store.

Like me, many women buy a dress for a party and then sell it on to fund their next party dress. So a lot of time the dresses are still in brand new condition!

If I added up the recommended retail prices of the dresses I’ve purchased against the prices I’ve actually paid – the difference would be unbelievable!

Even before the “credit crunch” I looked for cheap auction dresses online because I usually only wear outfits once or twice and some prices in store are crazy!

It’s the perfect option for me because I couldn’t afford a brand new dress at the rate I buy cheaper auction dresses!

Here are the main tactics you can use to look slimmer just by dressing a certain way.

Get them right and you can seriously look like you’ve lost pounds in seconds!

Like most of us we struggle with our weight from time to time … or all the time for some of us … so learning how to dress slim is a good skill to learn.

How To Dress Slim – Top 7 Tips

1. The Same Colour

One great tip on how to dress slim is to wear the same colour from top to toe. This creates the illusion of a slimmer and sometimes taller figure.

Wearing the same colour from head to toe seems to stretch your body and there’s no break in the colour so it’s just one long vertical line which makes you look slim.

Looking longer means it also knocks of inches width ways which gives you a slimmer shape.

Maxi dresses are great for making you look longer and leaner than you are.

2. Dark Neutral Colours

Bright or light clothing gives the illusion of extra volume even for the skinny minnies but dark neutral colours make you appear more trim.

3. Vertical designs

Another way to create a slimmer you is to wear clothing that emphasizes vertical lines. Our eyes naturally follow the movement of lines so if they notice vertical lines they’ll move vertically.

When you apply this to the figure, creating strong vertical lines with your clothing creates the impression of more height, less breadth. You can create vertical line in a variety of ways such as rows of buttons, a vertical design or decorative piping.

4. Looking In Proportion

Taking your body shape in to consideration, if you balance your problem areas with the rest of your body you will instantly look slimmer.

5. Well Fitting Clothes … Even If It Means Going Up Or Down A Size!

If you are going to take heed of any of these slimming strategies then well fitting clothes is one of the most important.

Nothing will pile on the pounds faster than wearing clothes that are too big or too small.

Some of us may be guilty of squeezing into a size smaller than we are just so that we can say it’s the smaller size. Stretched clothing draws attention to the fact it’s too small and makes you look fuller than if you wore the bigger size!

On the other hand if you buy clothes that are too big to hide your probably areas you could end up looking wider than you actually are!

6. Fabric and Pattern

Big bold patterns can sometimes add volume so buy with caution. It’s best to opt for small patterns that won’t add width.

Stay clear of clingy fabrics as they’ll stick to all the wrong places. Fabrics that skim your problem areas without being bulky are your best bet.

7. Accessories

Accessories can focus attention to any area you wish so if you have a larger bottom half for example, wearing a bold piece of jewellery around your neck will keep the attention up top on your slimmer area.

Pear Shape Body Type

If your bottom half is wider than the top half of your body then your definitely not alone, many woman fit the pear shape body type all across the world.

One of the main tips if you have this body shape is to avoid clothing that stops at or enhances your widest area. Clingy materials at the bottom area are an obvious no no.

If you have a pear shape body type, in order to reduce the appearance or disguise your bottom half it is advised that you either balance it at the top or bottom to counteract the width in the middle.

When it comes to finding a dress, you should concentrate on your neckline and how it affects your shoulders.

Dresses with spaghetti straps are not going to provide the strong shoulder look you need to balance out your bottom. The best suggestion is a neckline that sits horizontally across the chest or collarbone, which will enhance the shoulders and balance your figure beautifully.

If you don’t think that neckline suits you or you just don’t like it, then it’s best to focus on minimising your bottom half by finding a dress that doesn’t cling from the waist down. A dress that is fitted at the waist or just under the bust will draw attention to these areas and away from a wider bottom half.
