Hot Dots
THE FASHION TREND
Put a little polka into your wardrobe An extremely hip trend with a long history: in the mid-1800s, the speckled pattern arose and was dubbed with the name ‘polka dots’ – thanks to the much beloved polka dance at that time. In the 1950s, the fabric printed with dots celebrated a huge comeback. And nowadays? Hollywood stars have been escorting the look down the red carpet, and we have also discovered the trend for our daily wear. Dainty dots, daring dabs and grandee versions look adorable not only on dresses, blouses and coats, but also on chic accessories. A mere glance at the new cuts and sheer fabrics in the latest collections is enough to assure you that there is no danger of a "good girl" image in dots. For a spot-on outfit, combine a choice polka dot piece with plain colours like black, white, or red.

STYLE ICONS
From Surgical to Evening Gown For the Grey's Anatomy fans amongst us, the 36-year-old actress hardly needs an introduction.
2008 the New at Fashion York Week
Since 2006, Sara Ramirez has been a part of the medical television series. In real life, the American with Mexican roots trades in her scrubs for outfits in sexy red, intense black or shimmering pearl – which look ravishing in combination with her complexion. She accentuates her curves with body-hugging dresses. Ramirez rarely wears trousers, but when she does, it is with feminine tops. Her styling trick: she concentrates on a particular area of her figure and then really makes it shine. She either shows off a lovely décolleté, her arms, or legs, but never everything at once.

When combined with natural nuances, an outfit becomes sophisticated, when worn as a backdrop, it makes intense colours really pop. Any shade within the palette, from festive silver grey to exclusive light grey, can of course be worn as a total look. Add highlights with vibrant accessories!

Large Chest
WHILST SO MANY WOMAN WISH FOR NOTHING MORE THAN A WELL ENDOWED BOSOM, OTHERS WOULD PREFER TO HIDE THEIR BOUNTIFUL BUSTS. BUT IT IS ALL JUST A MATTER OF STYLING! HERE ARE OUR TIPS FOR PUTTING A CLEVER SPOTLIGHT ON YOUR CURVES.
FARBRICS Proper styling begins with choosing the right fabrics. Lustrous materials like satin, or thick materials like velvet or chunky knit visually bulk up the bust. Instead, choose soft textiles like jersey, cotton, flannel or cashmere. Even when that means investing a certain amount: premium quality materials guarantee that your clothing will fit perfectly.
NECKLINE Instead of a round neckline, go instead for a narrow v-neck. This elongates the torso, the neck looks visually longer and your décolleté will steal the show! This lets you accentuate your feminine curves and streamline your proportions.
CUTS Your tops should have a body-hugging cut. Take care to avoid any cutting-in or pushingup of the bust. Even when it might at first seem like they help hide an ample bosom: keep away from wide, flowing tops! They just billow-up the silhouette. For the opposite effect, pointed collars and vertical seams help to elongate your figure.

Large Chest ACCESSORIES Long necklaces are not only on-trend, they also have an elongating effect. Loosely draped scarves can also elegantly cover up a large chest. Beware of accessories like brooches and short necklaces – they accentuate an ample bosom!
BLOUSES You like wearing blouses? Perfect! Particularly plain-coloured variations look fantastic on you! If they have a loose and slightly tailored fit, you are good to go. You can do without playful details like ruffles and flounces – instead, leave the top button open to create a v-neckline. The button placket on the neckline furthers the narrowing effect by visually dividing the chest area.
OUTDOORS Without a doubt: a low-cut, single-breasted jacket is your best choice. Double-breasted jackets and coats bulk up precisely the area you want to look smaller.
VISUAL MAGIC Choose a minimiser bra, which reduces the bust by one cup size thanks to its special cut and construction. Sleeves should not end at chest level. Three-quarter length sleeves are a better choice. Diagonal stripes that taper down toward the waist make the torso look longer and the bust smaller.

Large Chest DRESSES
NO GO’S
You can wear dresses with daring v-necklines! Should you not feel comfortable with a low cut, there are other options.
Horizontally striped tops Halter-neck tops Empire designs and baby-doll dresses Satin fabrics and sequined tops
A narrow, high-cut shift dress subtly follows your contours and is irresistibly seductive to boot! Dresses with asymmetrical cuts and just one strap also cover the décolleté for the most part, yet still create a feminine and elegant silhouette. Would you rather not emphasise your body so much? Then choose a loose fitting sweater dress instead. Here, the same rule applies: no oversized pieces, please, otherwise the overall look becomes too voluminous.
TROUSERS & SKIRTS Straight cut, wide trousers are great for your figure, which means that a Marlene style is ideal. Tight drainpipe jeans tend, in contrast, to bring attention to a dominant bosom. Pencil skirts with a high waist look especially lovely. They suit curvaceous women in particular, and do a great job by positively accentuating the bust. SHOP ALL SUITABLE STYLES NOW

TESTIMONIALS
Jacqui flattered us with her email:
“How great to have a magazine for us, shall we say, curvy women, I loved everything about it. It is just so good to have features dedicated to us bigger ladies. Well done, can't wait for the next issue.“
Diana sent us some suggestions for improvement:
“I think the magazine could be improved. Firstly, some pages are rather crowded and lose their impact. Fewer clothes would make more of an impact. I like your interviews, but they are a little too brief. More questions would help. But overall, for those of us with the internet, I think your magazine is very good. My friend, who does not have computer access, wishes you would provide a paper edition!“
What Sue thinks about our models:
“I was very impressed with your magazine which I found easy to navigate. There was a lot of easily accessible information and I really like the fact you use models who represent the sizes you're selling. They look sensational and encouraged me to buy. Keep it up!” SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK NOW
