It takes all sorts to make a world, so they say, and in terms of physique this couldn''t be more true. We are short, tall, fat, thin and everything in between and the high street fashion market is finally starting to pay more attention to the physical diversity of its clientele and cater to meet their needs accordingly.

There are now sections within popular high street stores such as Topshop, New Look and Dorothy Perkins that are designed specifically for tall girls, petite girls and plus size figures, as well as ever expanding maternity ranges and children''s wear collections.

Dressing plus sizes often takes a little more thought than dressing the coat hanger framed catwalk models that we are frequently presented with in all the major fashion publications. Dressing real curves requires an awareness of what to highlight, what to skim and which shapes work best on which figures.

The way to enjoy fashion and clothes is to focus on the parts of your body that you love. By accentuating these and minimising the bits you like less you can start to dress in a way that will make you feel great about the skin you''re in.

Highlighting the narrowest part of the body with waist fitted shirts and dresses with belts or sashes is often a great way to make the most of your curves. This way you can make sure that you look and feel uber feminine at all times.

Always accentuate the narrowest part of the body in order to ensure that your look is as feminine as possible. Waist belts and fabric sashes can help with this where a less than perfect fit is your only option.

Choose your colours and patterns carefully. Black and other dark shades are always flattering. Small and delicate prints can also hide a multitude of sins. Paisley prints are some of the most flattering available.

Try your nearest department store and see if they offer an in-house personal shopping service. A stylist for a day could help you to learn the best tricks for dressing your figure for the rest of your life.
