Description:  Like most women, Tina Hines has her size — an 8 — and then she has her list of clothes that actually look good on her. Side pockets are out (they make her hips look too wide). Halter tops are difficult (she needs to wear a bra). Defined waists are good, and she likes a bit of Lycra to accentuate her curves.
