Where can I find more detailed instructions on how to transform a crew neck?

It also adds a little detail that creates some visual interest to what otherwise might be a plain and boring top.

The trick with the ruching is to do a few stitches, then go over a couple of stitches as if you were going to tie a knot off, so that the ruching doesn’t slide round. Hope this makes sense.

Plus anyone can do it, you don’t need a sewing machine, just a needle and thread.

Look for trousers that have a straight leg or even a wide leg, or flare, otherwise you’ll look like a lollipop.

A jacket that’s left open, but has some waist shaping (not boxy or square) is good. Wear a lighter coloured jacket over a darker coloured top and your tummy will disappear.

Make sure all skirts and trousers are pleat-free - flat fronts, and side zips can really work for you.

If you like to wear heels, make them a wedge - stilettos and kitten heels will just look too dainty on your frame.

Keep necklines lower to break up your bust. V-necks are great, as are cross-over tops (though avoid wrap dresses as they won’t suit at all).

Large pendants are great to draw attention up to the face and away from your boobs.

Hope this helps Vidly.

Besides wearing something open and on the fly, I think it helps, too, to layer something more shaping over - like that menswear style vest trend, so long as the boxy shirt isn’t also stiff.

Sigh. I am a “don’t” this morning.

I’m off to pop on a white tank, so I can open this thing like a jacket.
