Stars caught in stripes. Wearing stripes takes guts and obviously these stars have guts! Vertically striped pants or skirts seemingly add inches and you seem taller pair it with a sold colored tee and your in style. For dresses, avoid horizontal stripes that widen your shape -- unless you have a boyish figure (Hilton Sisters) and need to create some curves, ditto for shirts! Elizabeth hurley's V-striped dress is most flattering on big chested girls!
