PLUS-size fashion brand Marisota has a new secret to making women look and feel good in what they wear.

The firm says it has had a "design breakthrough" and its autumn/winter range, is inspired by this.

In a bid to target areas of women's body's that they dislike, designers have used new technology to form what they call 'Shapeology'.

They asked 7000 women across the UK what they were most worried about when picking clothes.

The survey found that the stomach and upper arms were the top two factors which concerned the group most.

So what can we expect from their newest line?

There are cleverly placed hidden panels which shape and reinforce your silhouette.

This secret sculpting helps to form a streamlined look whether you're apple, pear or hourglass shaped.

The company, which specialises in womenswear in sizes 12 to 32, is also offering advice from TV stylist Mark Heyes and celebrity designer Coleen Nolan.

The video tutorials, which are available online, are there to help consumers translate what they want into what to wear without sacrificing on style.

Here is our pick of the best pieces from the brand's autumn/winter collection.
