DrummeR4LifE answered Tuesday December 14 2004, 12:58 pm: Dark colors always help you look thinner.
I'm not sure how your mom looks like but if she's really unhappy about he self and wants to look thinner she could try working out?
But if colors is allur asking for, dark should work.
hope i could help

alliecat07 answered Wednesday November 24 2004, 9:13 pm: ok well black of course is very slimming!! another factor in making your self appear thinner is the type of clothes worn. Pear shaped: bright colors or bold patterns for shirt and pants that draw less attention to them. pinstripe pants are very flattering! upside down pear shaped: oposite of pear shaped! hope this helps ! - allie [ alliecat07's advice column | Ask alliecat07 A Question ]

Tinkerbelle answered Sunday November 21 2004, 10:42 pm: I know black is supposed to be slimming. Well really any dark colors could do it, maybe navy or brown. Vertical stripes are also supposed to work I think, and when you wear one color from the neck on down is slimming. I really only know those couple of tricks, sorry!

PresleyPizzelanti answered Sunday November 21 2004, 9:35 pm: just as the legend goes, black and a tan makes u look slimmer. also, id recommend low waisted pants to make her butt look smaller, also a loosly fitted shirt with a wraparound look. since winter is coming up, she could buy a jacket with a belt that goes around it, it'll *visually* squeeze her waist line in and make her legs look leaner and lenghthier [ PresleyPizzelanti's advice column | Ask PresleyPizzelanti A Question ]
Bigmouth247 answered Sunday November 21 2004, 8:43 pm: omg! black black black. or darker colores like brown or dark red! also vertical strips help make the body look thiner! (not horizontal!) I hope i helped!!

AsKmE135 answered Sunday November 21 2004, 8:08 pm: Yea black is a good color to hide your figure because it doesn't show as many shadows which makes u seem thinner. [ AsKmE135's advice column | Ask AsKmE135 A Question ]

Ryan_10 answered Sunday November 21 2004, 8:02 pm: i would say black, or put makeup on her face and do her hair fancy so it would take the attention off her body onto her face- hope i helped----ryan [ Ryan_10's advice column | Ask Ryan_10 A Question ]
sUnsEt_rOO18 answered Sunday November 21 2004, 7:59 pm: black supposedly works! not too much tho, just maybe a shirt thats black! cant overdo it too much, then it doesnt work. Its more the style of the shirt than the color. watch what not to wear on TLC! they have alot of people like that on there! hope i helped --rachael [ sUnsEt_rOO18's advice column | Ask sUnsEt_rOO18 A Question ]
Cath answered Sunday November 21 2004, 7:59 pm: Hi Sweetie,
Colors? Black! All dark almost-black colors are good. But especially black. No nean-colors because those will make her look chuncky. No horizantel stripes (meaning sideways). ...No stripes period. Oh! And if she wears a necklace or even a chocker on her neck or a scarf it'll make her look thinner.
Maybe you can actually help her lose weigh. She can eat whatever she wants... just excercise (diets are bad...they end up helping you gain weight). Maybe you can take the stairs rather than the elevator... take walks on the park... go to the gum together. The activity itself should make her happier.
Hope I was of help. I hope your mom and yourself find happines. Best wishes! ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]
HyperactiveMiss answered Sunday November 21 2004, 7:57 pm: I don't think I need to tell you what color will make her look slimmer, lol. Those people seem to have got it covered =P Maybe you should encourage your mom to go to the gym or buy some exercising tapes. It works. Maybe if you do it along with her it'll make her feel better. Or even start small by taking walks with her. [ HyperactiveMiss's advice column | Ask HyperactiveMiss A Question ]
Solaris answered Sunday November 21 2004, 7:51 pm: Yes. Black is the single most slimming color out there. But instead of her hiding it....Get her to lose those extra lbs....Work out with her... [ Solaris's advice column | Ask Solaris A Question ]
