Sara says: I’ve always been shapely, even when I was modelling, but because I feel bottom-heavy, I invariably try to disguise the size of  my behind by choosing floaty outfits, often with an empire line.
I’d never have thought that something like this pleated dress would suit my figure, so it has made me think again about wearing clothes that accentuate my shape rather than simply hiding it.
All the same, putting on an outfit like this made me feel dramatically out of my  comfort zone.
I took one look at myself in the mirror, packed tightly into this ultra-tight dress, and thought, ‘That can’t  be me!’ I’ve not worn  something so short and showing so much decolletage for years.
I loved the colour, which is something I’d definitely wear because it flatters my warm skin tone. But as I twirled in front of the mirror, I knew I’d never have the confidence to wear something so daring in public.
My friends, however, felt very differently — they loved the new look and told me I looked really sexy, which makes me wonder whether perhaps I should give it a go after all.
I’m trying to second-guess my husband’s reaction — he’ll either love it or hate it.

Stylist Deborah says: A  triangle shape is pretty uncompromising, with a slight, slender build on top, but bigger around the hips and bottom.
It’s easy to dress the top half, you just have to work around the bottom.
Luckily for Sara, a J-Lo bottom is considered sexy, and she’s also lucky in that she balances a bigger  backside with great legs — which is why I pulled the focus away from her  bottom by drawing attention to her amazing pins.
Triangles need to work with their good bits, rather than worrying about their bad bits.
If you haven’t got nice legs, try drawing attention to slender arms, or the decolletage or upper body with a sleeveless or halter-neck design. Details on the top half will balance out any disproportion in the bottom half.
