  • Which image best reflects your own body?Shoulders

    Go for: A scoop-neck top will take the emphasis away from your shoulders and draw attention to your decolletage. This will make your neck look longer, too, giving you an elegant silhouette. Avoid: High-necks and halter-necks; puffy sleeves; and (obviously) shoulder pads.Go for: A V-neck top will redefine your shape, breaking the visual line of your shoulders and making them appear much narrower. Wear a long necklace to further aid the effect. Avoid: High necks, horizontal stripes and soft fabrics that tend to gather at the yoke.Go for: A boat-neck top will help make your shoulders appear wider. Remember, seam lines should be at the outer edge of your shoulders for maximum width. Avoid: Spaghetti straps and off-the-shoulder, strapless designs.

  • Which image best reflects your own body?Bust

    Go for: A wrap top to show off your womanly curves and sexy decolletage, without baring too much flesh. But rule number one is always to wear a well-fitted bra: do that and you can't go wrong. Avoid: Cover-all tops in loud patterns that call attention to the area for all the wrong reasons.Go for: A corset top. Burlesque-inspired styles and lacy numbers are big news this season - and they pull you in in all the right places.Go for: An embellished bodice: for example, look out for tops with details such as bows that tie directly below the bust area, which help boost even the most non-existent bust! A nipped-in waistline will help give you shape, too - and there's a wealth of padded bras and bodices to give you some extra oomph. Avoid: Loose-fitting, baggy styles that fail to pull you in at the waist.

  • Which image best reflects your own body?Arms

    Go for: A top with fluted sleeves: some of this season's floaty, bohemian-style tops are perfect. Also, look out for styles with floating cuffs. Avoid: Tops with gathered wrists as these will make your arms appear bigger - and flabbier - than they actually are.Go for: A chiffon top with three-quarter-length sleeves: look for this season's gorgeous styles with embellishments such as embroidery or lace. These help emphasise your shapely arms while still remaining pretty and feminine. Avoid: Tight-fitting sleeves that overplay your muscles. Likewise, strapless styles can look a tad OTT and draw attention away from your boobs and waistline.Go for: Dresses or tops with bell-shaped or puffy sleeves, ideally in a semi-sheer fabric, which helps give the illusion of wider arms. Horizontal stripes can help, too: check out this season's stripy jumpers and cardigans. Avoid: Thin straps and spaghetti straps: they just make your arms look even thinner.

  • Which image best reflects your own body?Waistline

    Go for: Empire-line tops and frocks that create a high waistline just beneath the boobs, and make the body below look much longer and slimmer. Avoid: 'Tenting' yourself. Women have a tendency to hide their curves beneath billowing black layers, but this just ends up making you look much bigger - and less stylish - than you really are.Go for: Ruffled tops that fall below the waistline - they're oh-so-now and oh-so-flattering, as they help hide any pesky lumps and bumps. Avoid: Tight-fitting tops and unforgiving fabrics such as satin that draw attention to any less-than-smooth areas.Go for: Belted styles - such as this season's Fifties-style cocktail frocks - with their super-sexy nipped in waist. By drawing attention to your waist, you'll also be helping to accentuate your natural womanly curves. Avoid: Baggy styles and Empire waistlines that hide your best asset.

  • Which image best reflects your own body?Hips

    Go for: An A-line dress will help to disguise wide hips, but don't opt for anything too baggy. Go for on-trend styles with lace or sequin details around the bust area to draw attention away from your lower half. Avoid: Dark fabrics, loud patterns and horizontal stripes that make your hips look bigger than you actually are.Go for: A super-sexy pencil skirt. This season's silhouette is very feminine -so pairing a nipped-in waist with hourglass curves is bang-on trend. Avoid: The temptation to hide your hips: you're supposed to be curvy, you know!Go for: Low-rise trousers or jeans will make the most of the curve of your hip. A low-slung belt can also help accentuate this area. Avoid: Straight-up-and-down styles that do nothing to flatter your shape.

  • Which image best reflects your own body?Bottom

    Go for: Super-flare or wide-leg jeans, which will help balance out your figure and help you appear slimmer. Also look for styles with a wide waistband that sits low on the hip, as this helps create a neater-looking shape. Avoid: Tight-fitting trousers that make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable, as well as putting you at risk of VPL!Go for: A pair of slim-fit jeans: they're much more comfortable, and generally much more flattering, than skinnies. Boot-cut styles will also make you look taller and give the illusion of longer legs. Avoid: Super-baggy or super-skinny jeans: both are just as unflattering as one another, but for different reasons. And try to resist the temptation to hide your shape: this season is all about playing up your curves, you know.Go for: A long tunic top with detail such as ruffles, frills, embroidery or lace around the lower half to give the illusion of more shape and buff up this area. Avoid: Baggy trousers and ill-fitting jeans and skirts, which can end up looking even saggier on smaller bottoms.

  • Which image best reflects your own body?Thighs

    Go for: An Empire-line maxi-dress that skims, rather than clings. Look for styles with graduating colours that become darker lower down. Avoid: Jersey fabric, which tends to cling to problem areas. And stay away from big prints and loud patterns, which emphasise the thighs, rather than hiding them.Go for: Tailored linen trousers and skirts that help play up your muscular thighs without making them appear too chunky. Avoid: Skinny jeans and trousers: they're just far too clingy to look flattering. And avoid turn-ups: they can make your legs look much shorter than they really are.Go for: Skinny jeans, but balance them out with volume on your top half. You can also carry off this season's feminine frocks and pencil skirts with heels: they'll help make your legs look longer, too. Avoid: Over-playing your skinniness: the trick is to accentuate your curves by nipping in and spilling out in all the right places.
