The second essential tip that will make you look like you've been drinking from the fountain of eternal youth, is to check your shoulders vs the shoulder line of your clothes!
When it comes to fixing a bunch of things that will make you look younger (and slimmer) this is the detail that almost every woman forgets to check. And it's really the grand daddy of them all. If you get this wrong, nothing will look right!
My shoulder line
It doesn't matter whether you are tall or short, all women need to check whether the shoulder line of a top or dress fits perfectly against their shoulders. That's because aside from wearing the wrong bra, it's the #1 issue that makes women look older than they are or feel! Here's why...
If the shoulder line of the garment was designed for someone longer in the upper body than you, the entire garment will sit too low on your body and make your posture and bust sag!
This is a picture of me to illustrate. This dress needs the shoulder to be taken up by ~2" to fit my shoulders perfectly! You can see how much better my posture and bust look. But that's not all...
If the shoulder doesn't fit perfectly, the waistline will be sitting in the wrong spot too. Did you know this is one of the top #5 reasons that women look like they have belly sag?

What's Next?
If you need to raise the shoulder of the garment with pegs by 1/2" or more it will make a dramatic difference to the overall fit from shoulder hips. If you love the difference (like my blue dress above), it may be the big 'ah ha' you've been searching for and it's definitely worth considering the cost/benefit of having these alterations done
Cost Consideration:
There is a substantial difference in cost to make shoulder alternations if your garment has sleeves or if it is lined

BEFORE YOU BUY NEW CLOTHES
Once you see the dramatic difference it makes to have the perfect fit across your shoulders you should get into the habit of checking this before you buy. And if the garment does need alterations, it's best to factor in both the time and money commitment before you make the purchase
Of course, it's always better to buy a garment that fits you perfectly in the first place because alterations can often go wrong. If you want to avoid needing to have alterations you might like to try our 'customize service' where you get the tweaks you need for no extra cost. You can sit back and relax while we take care of the detail. Check the benefits below...
