Dressing For Your Body Type – Part 3

Women who have a straight or rectangular body can pinch in their waist and exaggerate their curves by using belts and texture in volume. This body type can easily look boyish and so women should steer clear of baggy jeans or sweat clothes. Wearing a straight dress that eliminates the waistline will skim the body and create the illusion of a smaller waist.

Women who have a pear-shaped body must use clothing to decrease the size of their hips. Dresses which are fitted at the top and flow away from the body are a great choice, as well as fitted pants with an over blouse that flows away and hits at the hip.

Women who have a smaller bust line can add more volume by looking for dresses or tops that have an embellishment or fullness on the bust line. Things like ruffles or frills can add fullness when the rest of the garment defines the waist and accentuates the upper body.

Women who do not want to show off their legs can use a longer skirt that comes to midcalf. Paired with heels, this can disguise larger calves with thicker ankles. While women who are uncomfortable with their upper arms can choose dresses and tops which are three-quarter length sleeves and have little cutouts in the arm. This element or an embellishment detracts from making the outfit look matronly.

Women who have an hourglass figure are some of the lucky few who have a waistline that can be accentuated and curves which make others envious.

Look carefully and objectively at your own figure. You may be surprised that what you first perceived as a negative trait can easily be used to create your perfect figure.
