There are some cuts that are going to flatter you with ease, and some that, no matter how fabulous the pattern, just aren't going to give you the sleek, sexy look you want. We've got some tips for how to accentuate the positive and diminish the negative when you're dressing up for a big night (or day) out. Check out the gallery for tips!
