We've all ended up with a shirt that is too expensive to get rid of but fits just slightly wrong. Instead of throwing it into your cupboard and forgetting about it, try wearing it as an outer layer or simply trying the crossover trick.

Also, invest in a seam ripper tool to remove seams from garments. Thus if the sleeves are too tight you can simply remove them or open up a seam to create a slit in a tight dress to give you a little more space to move.

Know Your Fabrics

Sometimes it's not the style that isn't flattering it's the fabric. We've all made the mistake of ordering a piece online and expecting it to fit or flow a certain way and when it arrives it looks nothing like we thought.

When looking for clothing, especially if you have a little more curve in certain areas, be sure to analyze the fabric breakdown of the garment. A good idea if you are unsure is to always opt for fabrics with a little stretch to them so that they can accommodate all of your curves without snagging.
