Don't get disappointed when you check out the newest fashions from New York, Madrid, and London-- you can find the right look for you if you translate these pieces into looks that are proportioned for your body type. If you've got the urge to experiment a little and you want to make up some great outfits, take a look at styles that won't disappoint.
1. Bows and the Ultra-Fem

Bows made a splash at Proenza Shouler, and you've be impressed at what they can do for you. While over-stated tie necks rampaged the runway, you will find that you can wear bows and feminine shapes in a body-conscious style.
2. Wide-Legged, High-Waisted Trousers
Think that high-waisted trousers aren't for you? If you have an hourglass shape, consider trousers with a mid rise and slightly wider bootcut legs.3. Lean Silhouettes

For those of us who are shorter in stature and fuller-hipped, longer, leaner silhouettes can be intimidating. Embrace your shape with a classic dress with the same dramatic details, and get a similar look with like colors.
4. Pencil Skirts
Pencil skirts were all over the runways this Fall/Winter, and they'll look perfect if you shop smart. While bright plaids and skin-tight layers may not be your favorite look, you can compromise with bright solid wool skirts for Fall/Winter.5. Trousers and Brief Skirts

Betsey Johnson's wild-child looks floated down the runway for February 2008, and between the delicate florals and the fun colors, you can find a look that works for you before Fall/Winter 2008 rolls around.
6. Strapless Dresses
Designers like Herve Leger use distinctively skin-tight fits to characterize their collections. If you want a dress that flatters with a similar look, find something with strong lines and a shaped bodice or skirt, depending on your favorite features.7. Simple Shifts

You will be able to wear a shift no matter what your size. It's all about the shape, so choose an a-line one in a mini length if you've got awesome legs, or a belted shift if you'd like to show off your waist.
Tip: Be sure to hunt out a shift with added length-- belting a loose dress can shorten it substantially.
8. Blousy Dresses
Put on a dress with an easy "safari" silhouette that's taken in at the waist. Blousy tops look perfect when you're a plus-petite.9. Shaped Shoulders

When you're plus-sized, you can handle different proportions. You can pull off larger shoulders comfortably, just like these jackets at Carmen March.
