Choosing appropriate garments

Looking better begins with picking the right kurtis. Be a smart shopper and stock up on the ones that will accentuate your figure and overall look.

  • The right colour palette

Kurtis undoubtedly look appealing in every colour but well, if you have a lot of flab then your palette should be ideally brought down to darker tones. Wine, maroon, black, brown, navy blue, emerald green- colours that do not reflect light will work as a smart camouflage for those appalling bulges. Avoid garments having a larger proportion of white, neon and bright tones of yellow, orange and red.

  • Fabrics that flatter

Some fabrics tend to stick to your body, some balloon up while some balanced weaves fall just right. The last category is what you need to look out for. Georgette kurtis are one of the best variants to opt for since this fabric has a very flattering look and falls well over curves. Cotton, linen and softer silks like satin silk, light art silk, crepe and silk georgette are other suitable materials. If you want a party-wear velvet kurti, then choose velvet that has a thinner weave. Lycra, Chanderi silk, cotton-silk, organza, tissue and suede should be avoided completely.

  • Cuts and styles

Being plump does not limit your choices of wearing modishly appealing kurtis rather, there’s a profusion of variations- sensual and glamorous ones as well for you to choose from. Broader frames can be complemented with high collar or polo neck, straight-cut or A-line and long sleeved kurtis. The ones struggling with a heavy lower body should opt for styles that have a well-fitted top and flare like Anarkali style kurtis and Abaya style tunics. A rectangular figure can be toned down with long and slightly flared kurtis that run continuously from neckline to hem and are devoid of any pleats and gatherings.

  • Illusion prints and forms

Details- like prints and forms that adorn your garment when done right can create a strong semblance- impactful enough to make people step out of the way to complement you on having lost weight! While vertical stripes and finer forms will always come to your rescue, other details and forms that you can sport are half-and-half vertically coloured kurti and ascending patterns over flared kurtis that are smaller at the top and waist and grow larger towards the hem.

Bold prints should be kept at bay since they tend to attract too much attention- imparting an appeal of enormity which would obviously be the last thing on your mind!

Wear your kurti the right way

It’s fun to work around with add-ons to style a kurti which is by itself such a versatile garment. These simple style-tips and hacks will help you out-

  • If you have a pear shaped figure, wear a belt over the kurti. You can work around with a thick corset belt but if you have flabby mid-riff, then choose a thinner one.

  • Layer your long kurti with a medium to long jacket to conceal a heavy waist-line. Choose jackets having thin and flattering fabrics.

  • Tie a bow-scarf over a heavy bust. Pick a thin chiffon one that contrasts the colours and prints on the kurti to highlight the add-on.

  • A short kurti paired with straight-cut palazzo bottoms works well for the ones struggling with a heavy hip frame while those having flabby thighs should opt for flared palazzo bottoms or lehenga skirt.

Grey Cotton Printed Kurti

  • Always fold up long sleeves by a few inches if you have thin hands. Your exposed slim hands will take away attention from other problem areas in your frame.

If you’re wearing a short kurti, then your foot wear should match the colour of your bottom. This will make you look taller and therefore, slender. Block heels and simple sliders are other apt footwear styles for plump and curvy women.

Keep looking gorgeous!
