Volume Skirts to Hide Your Hips and Butt

There are literally hundreds of tips and tricks that stylists use to cover up and hide a big butt, while at the same time accentuating a small waist. A perfect style secret is the volume skirt.

When you think of a volume skirt, imagine a traditional ballroom gown. They can be long or short and if you are finding it hard to picture the shorter versions, try to envision Carey Bradshaw – AKA Sarah Jessica Parkers' fashion forward character from "Sex and the City". She loves to wear beautifully stylish volume skirts, with lots of tulle and embellishments.

While the traditional ball gown is ideal for parties and evening functions where wearing a long dress is permitted, shorter skirts that end just below the knee are fabulous for helping to hide wider hips. These can be dressed up for an evening affair or dressed down for a simple daywear outfit.

Whenever wearing a skirt with a lot of volume, try to balance your shape by adding a fitted top. Think of a ballerina in her tutu and leotard – now that's a perfect example. Try to incorporate that into your outfit, by wearing a fitted top which will accentuate your waist and combining it with a pretty volume skirt that will hide your hips.
