The optical illusion dress (made popular by Kate Winslet) is a perfect example of how a simple dress can enhance your curves and take inches off your waist by using some artful colour blocking.

New hair

If you want to make your face look slimmer why not bite the bullet and go for a new hairdo? Most hairstylists will tell you that changing your hair can dramatically slim down your face.
