Donia's Rules

After reviewing Donia's secretly recorded video and current wardrobe, fashion experts Stacy and Clinton set up these general rules for Donia to follow:

Sharper Lines — A soft body shape needs straight lines and clear-cut right angles.

Color and Prints — Wear bold prints and colors.

Camouflage Hips and Tits — Go for A-line skirts, longer tops, corseting features in jackets, belts that sit on hips not stomach, shirts with seaming that go below the waist and no crop tops!

Look Taller — Create the longest line possible. Try skirts (but not skirts that are too long), trousers and jeans with a crease.

Flat Butt — Donia needs clothes that will make her butt look rounder. She should try stretchy material.

Accessories — Try lots of hardware, belts, metal, chains, etc. and bags with lively colors and prints. No backpacks!
