Sometimes we don’t see a problem, till it becomes amusingly obvious.

Exhibit A

Here’s the deal. Last year I bought a sleeveless top for the summer days when I left the  my air-conditioned home and wanted and needed to stay cool.

The colors and proportion were right for me, the pattern made me happy, but…..

I noticed the second day that I wore it, how two of the flowers were dangerously close to being in the very wrong place; or in this case, places.

Please see exhibit A.

That’s the photo of myself pointing out the oh so close, to being oh so wrong print placement across my chest.

Keeping track of where a print falls on your body will help you avoid bringing negative attention to the body parts you don’t like or would prefer to not highlight, and focus instead on how to maximize the ones you do.

Prints can also make you look thinner in clothes or heaven forbid…bigger.

No matter what size a woman may wear, she usually always wants to look thinner. Me too.

Since print placement can accentuate the positive and minimize the negative.

Here are a few tricks to help you avoid making big things look bigger, or get unwanted attention.

• One minimizing trick is to wear a print on your smaller body parts and a dark solid color on the wider ones. That is one to way to visually balance out your body shape. Once again, please refer to Exhibit A.

• If you want to increase the size of your bosom without surgery, wear pockets and prints on the chest area, however not a print that screams out; pick me cause I’m ripe.

• Want to minimize your bottom, avoid pockets and prints that ‘enlarge’ the area and result in you asking, “does this make my butt look fat?”Have you ever had, or witnessed a print mishap?
