How to dress

FATTENING, PLEATED MAXI DRESS:

I feel like a Greek goddess in this halterneck maxi dress, but when I really look at my reflection, I realise that, sadly, I don’t resemble one. The halterneck that I believed was afailsafe flatterer makes my shoulders look broad.

I thought the loose shape would skim over my physique, but without a belt it makes me look shapeless. Perhaps if I were in my 20s, with slender arms, I might be able to carry off this dress. As it is, I just look as though I have rather a lot to hide. I’ve easily gained a stone just by putting this on.

令人發胖的百褶長裙：

穿上這件露肩及踝裙時，我感覺自己就是個希臘女神，但照鏡子後卻悲催地發現沒有哪個女神會像我這樣。我本以為露肩設計能讓我顯得苗條，但實際上卻使肩膀看上去更加寬厚壯實。

之前我認為寬鬆的版型能掩蓋肥胖的身體曲線，但不帶腰帶的裙子使我更沒身材了。要是我還是20多歲，有著細細長長的手臂，說不定能駕馭這條裙子，但現在看來，穿這種裙子就是為了遮擋很多肥肉。它使我看上去重了一英石。

SLIMMING, ILLUSION PANEL DRESS:

When even supermodels like Kate Moss wear illusion dresses to enhance their perfectly proportioned physiques, it would seem sensible to take notice. But I’ve never liked these dresses: they look a bit comical, somehow, and surely the optical illusion is too obvious to fool anyone?

But when Eliza finally convinces me to try this on, I really like it. It’s not too tight or revealing, but it is alluring. Importantly though, the dark panels at the sides definitely make me look thinner. A stone seems to have instantly vanished.

令人苗條的布塊鑲邊裙：

哪怕是凱特-莫斯那樣的超級名模，都會穿令人產生視覺誤差的裙子來彰顯完美身材，那我也可以試一下。但我一直都不喜歡這類裙子：外觀看上去滑稽可笑，所謂視覺誤差設計真的騙過人的眼睛嗎？

當伊莉莎說服我試穿一件時，我立刻就喜歡上了它。它既不緊也不暴露，卻相當誘人。更重要的是，衣服兩側的黑色鑲邊真的使我看上去瘦了好多。似乎立刻瘦了一英石。
