Q Where can I find a corset to amplify my A-cup cleavage? Corsets in the market are limited in sizes and nothing seems to fit.

A Two words: Chicken fillets. Not the real ones, of course, but the crescent-shaped silicone gel pads that fashion stylists swear by to boost models' bosoms.

Pick a gorgeous push-up bra and let the lacy bits show through under a bustier dress

They come in various sizes, and you can pick them up from Dorothy Perkins, Topshop or Apothecary + Co (B1-21 Raffles City Shopping Centre).

The trick is to lie these gel saviours flat against the curve of your breasts, and let your body heat mould them to your bustline, so you get a natural silhouette. You'll also need to bend over and do a little jiggle, pushing your tits together to get cleavage.

Then, with fashion tape (you can pick this up from Topshop), stick down any gaps so there's no allowance between the fabric and your skin. You don't want to give it all away.

Peekaboo knits are great for petite chests - sexy without being vulgar

But girlfriend, why force a square peg into a round hole? There are so many ways of doing sexy. If cleavage isn't your strongest suit, don't milk it for what it's not worth.

To wear a corset well, you'd need to be tall and have a long torso, says fashion stylist Dolphin Yeo, "otherwise you'll just look stumpy and squashed".

Besides, corsets are not big this upcoming season. There are other ways to look bigger on top.

For example, waisted silhouettes - especially thick belts that ride high on your midriff - can give the illusion of a more ample bustline.

A push-up bra - much easier and more practical to pull off than a corset - is another option. One of the haute things to do is show off your bra anyway. Check out Miu Miu's translucent knits or A-line tea frocks that allow you to
show off a pretty bra.

Q My fringe is long. I don't like the idea of pinning it back either because that's too farm-girl. What can I do?

Polished elegance - a soft fringe and ponytail worn low

A Go for shorter, blunt bangs that make you look more edgy, less blah. The China doll fringe is a classic.

You can also make your fringe asymmetrical.

But note that if you have a long face, wear your bangs longer - touching the eyebrows even - to shorten the shape.

You can also ask your hairdresser to give your fringe a wispier finish so you can slick on some wax or mud for a more defined effect. Or go for softer, rounder bangs for a mod finish.

Finally, if bangs don't work for you, use a hairband instead. Convenient and practical, it gets hair off your face.
