Whatever your shape and size, you can look and feel gorgeous with our fabulous Do’s and Don’ts for accentuating your best features and enjoying your curves.

- Hide your waist
- Forget to wear dresses with lighter tops and darker bottoms to highlight your smaller upper body
- Be afraid to elongate your legs with interesting dress patterns and styles

I love tvsn!! I’ve been shopping for 13 or more years. But I do have a problem with some of the jewellery. Twice now I have paid for a solid stone and received a clear stone with a slice of gem on the top. Very disappointed as my confidence as taken a hit:(
I sent my ring back but I had worn it before I realized, so now I have a ring with a slice through the middle…. of glass? and gem????!!!!
