Are you a RECTANGLE BODY SHAPE? Do you have a STRAIGHT BODY line? Then you're the perfect clothes horse! Most models have this body shape!
Your shoulders and hips are roughly the same width. Whether you are a size 8 or size 28 you still have a STRAIGHT BODY.
If you're slender you probably have a small bust, little waist definition and a flat bottom.
But lucky you, even if you carry a little extra weight around your midriff you can retain a more slender appearance than your curvy friends. Slim hips and great legs are your big bonus.
If this is the nearest body shape to your own, then check out how easy and LOGICAL it is to choose the most complementary shapes to flatter your figure.

Good fit is everything - it can make a modest outfit look a million dollars!
