Do your boobs hang low?

Clinton_2Check it out: The Deal Divas met Clinton Kelly on Saturday!

And like all the other adoring fans who came to see Clinton at Macy's at Countryside Mall, we now know the four secrets of what makes participants look so good on What Not to Wear.

Let us share...

1. Professional bra fitting: Clinton says your breasts should sit about mid-way between your shoulders and elbows with the help of the right size bra. Only about half the women in the audience had been professionally fitted. Says Clinton: "There's a lot of boobs in Clearwater that aren't as high as they could be."

2. Shapewear: WNTW participants wear everything from thigh slimmers to tummy containers to full body armor under their pretty new clothes.

3. Tailoring: Clinton says every impeccably dressed person has a good tailor. Shopping is step one, tailoring is step two. He says you can look good by shopping right off the rack, but it takes much more work.

4. Try on lots and lots of clothes! This is the one that takes the most patience. Clinton has none for women who try on two pairs of ill-fitting jeans and then complain that nothing fits them. He says participants try on about 20 pairs of jeans to find the perfect fit and are lucky to get seven to nine outfits after two full days of shopping.

Words from Clinton to live by: "If you don't have fit, you don't have style."
