Prominent Chest

Although I am thin and curvy, I find that my chest is too prominent, and this makes me look fat. Do you have any tips for me?

To reduce the look of a prominent chest, and create a more willowy look, try this outfit: Wear a white or light colored deep vee neck knit top. A curved vee, with some cleavage showing, is good for this, if it's appropriate for the occasion. Add a dark jacket over. The cloth of the jacket should not be reflective; velvet and suede are good. The jacket should not be closed. The front of the jacket should create two dark, wide stripes down the length of your chest.

Place a light coat, like a khaki trench, over this. Use the belt of the trench to tie the sides back (tying in the back) so that the trench does not button in the front. The front of your chest should show, from the center out: The deep vee, with the light center; the sides of the dark jacket on either side, producing wide dark stripes outside of the center; and the light colored wide stripes of the trench on either side of that. If you find it difficult, or too warm, to wear 3 layers, replace the dark jacket with a dark scarf. The dark scarf, worn looped around your neck, and on either side of the vee, should first be folded to create a straight edge. If you break up the expanse of your chest with the three contrasting panels, you will like the visual results. A shirt in a single color, and an unbroken expanse of fabric from one arm to the other, will increase the look of width. For those that need to minimize a prominent midsection, the same effect will work; the jacket should be long enough to create three panels: jacket side, skirt fabric, jacket side. Got it?
