Slimming and Elongating

[Amulya]

Wearing the right bra, one that really hoists the breast up there, elongates the waist and makes you look about 10lbs thinner.

Absolutely and using a proper posture helps too. The kind of posture tribal dancers use make a big differnce.
I've heard that proper belly covers can also shape a waist. There are dancers here who use them, hopefully them come to this thread.
