Find your Body Type

Do you know your Body Type? There are just 5 basic types

It's based on Bone Structure and it never changes
even if you gain weight

It's the shape of your HIPS that decides whether you have a CURVED or a STRAIGHT BODY

SHAPE not SIZE!

How Body Types are determined...

Would you put a square tablecloth on a round table? Of course not because the shapes don't fit!

A square tablecloth on a round table would look awkward while the round tablecloth drapes and looks elegant!

Similarly...

Similarly, would you put a round tablecloth on a square table? Certainly not, because it would look awkward!

Your body frame is the same!

It works exactly the same on the firm structure we call a BODY FRAME.

CURVED hips need CURVED shapes and fabric that drapes. 

STRAIGHT hips need STRAIGHT shapes and fabric that's more crisp and tailored. 

If you don't understand your body frame and get it wrong then your clothes may feel uncomfortable and look awkward.

If something doesn't fit it's not your fault, it just means that it's not made for you! 

Whatever your dress size, 6 or 26, your Body Type will be the same because the shape of your body frame doesn't change even if you gain weight. 

2 basic Hip Shapes

Most of you will easily recognize whether your hips are CURVED or STRAIGHT. Of course not everyone is built exactly one way or another but it's a pretty good guide and you should be able to tell which one you are closest to. 

Look at the widest points of your HIPS and THIGHS. Some will have their widest point high close to the waist and some of you will have the widest part on your thighs, several inches below the waist.

This indicates whether your Hips are CURVED or STRAIGHT.

But we're all different!

Although there are only 5 generic Body Types, we are all different with a unique and individual Body Shape of our own.

So once you find your Body Type you can address your own figure challenges and discover how to Dress your own Body Shape.

Shape has NOTHING to do with Weight!!

SHAPE has nothing to do with your weight - fat or thin!
