 Don't slip up in the slip department. A foot shorter than the dress itself? Not good.

fashion: trends & must-haves for your wardrobe

  • Floral-appliqué triangle bikini

    The best swimsuit for your body type—yes, yours!

    When morning talk shows and local newspapers dole out their seasonal swimsuit shopping advice, I’m usually pretty disappointed by the lack of body types represented. What about the women who don’t resemble fruit? (Or aren’t boy-shaped—the third “one of these things is not like the other” category I’ve never quite understood. Couldn’t they say “banana?” Or is that somehow more offensive than “apple” and “pear” shapes?)
