Yes, I guess shoes are definitely a challenge. That’s a tough one! But when it comes to the blazer I think the key is probably finding a good tailor who can adapt a jacket that fits in the waist and is large in the shoulders. Alterations, especially that extensive, can be costly, I know.

And you are so very right! Undergarments can make or break an outfit, too. Great point!

Second challenge is finding a blazer. If it fits through my shoulders, it won’t button. If I can button it, the shoulders are too big and it is too wide through the bust.

I would add an 8th styling point: a well-fitting bra and shapewear are essential to a good fit (unless you have no rolls and sags).
