Create a slimming effect with ruching

If you’ve been hiding under your clothes all summer because you haven’t quite lost the baby weight, then it’s time you start looking into another way to slim yourself with ruching. Simply by wearing a top, tunic or dress that has a little bit of gathering near your waist or across the chest, you can appear to look at least five to ten pounds slimmer without having to starve yourself. The gathered material, ruching, drapes the material across your body instead of clinging to your stomach and chest making you look taller and thinner. While you still may still have to give up dessert every night to lose those last few pounds, at least now you can feel confident in a cute ruched top.
