Follow your curves

Jennifer Lopez has a classic curvaceous figure and knows how to work it, but remember: no two curvy girls are the same. If you have a toned, peachy derrière like Jen, go for a dress that will cling in all the right places to show them off. If you have real authentic 1950s curves, nip your waist in to show them off. If you're tall, put your legs on display in shorts.

The golden rule is never to hide your curves but to dress them up subtly.
