Hip Scarves

Using Silk Scarves and Shawls to Disguise Your Weight

No matter what their age, shape or size, there are few women who are entirely satisfied with every aspect of their figure.  For some it might be an extra few unwanted inches around the waist or hips that are the cause for concern, while for others it might be the unsightliness of flabby upper arms or bulging tummy fat.  Particularly for those ladies whose weight and size tends to fluctuate regularly, investing in a whole new wardrobe each time their body changes would be impossible, but at times when weight is on the increase, their existing items of clothing can start to show all of those bulges that they would rather keep hidden.

With all the pressure on women these days to conform to some impossible stick thin body image, it is hardly surprising that we want to cover up any evidence of being less than perfect, but dressing in clothes which make us look as though we are wearing a tent of course does nothing for our self-esteem.  Putting on a few pounds, however, does not mean that we have to give up on style and elegance, and one very inexpensive, practical and extremely attractive solution is to use fabulous silk scarves and shawls to hide those little imperfections.

Sumptuous hand painted silk scarves and hand-dyed shawls actually work in two quite separate ways to detract attention from those parts of the body that we would really rather not make a feature of.  For one thing, the huge number of ways that they can be tied and worn on different parts of the body means that they can be used to cover up imperfections or to deceive the eye into thinking that we are an entirely different shape.  In addition, however, the very beauty of the accessories themselves acts superbly in taking the focus off our shape and placing it firmly on the scarf or shawl itself.

Flabby upper arms, upper back and underarm areas are, of course, some of the easiest to hide with a scarf or shawl and you do not need much creativity to be able to do this effectively and elegantly.  Whether you simply drape it over the shoulders and arms or throw one corner back over the opposite shoulder, no-one will be any the wiser as to those little bulges underneath.  To disguise a larger waist or hips, meanwhile, a long shawl is ideal, but do make sure that it is long enough because anything which stops short will only accentuate the problem.

With their stunning hand crafted designs, whole palette of colors which takes in everything from the bold and the beautiful to the dreamy pastels and exquisite silk fabric, women's silk scarves and shawls are an excellent way to let your accessory, rather than your imperfections, steal the show.  As the fabric is soft and will not cling, there will be no sign of any of those parts that you would rather keep under wraps.
