Which Body Shape Am I?


Body shape is determined by assessing the vertical and horizontal proportions between a person’s shoulders, waist and hips:
Hourglass is traditionally noted as the ‘perfect’ body shape as the curved line running from the top of the shoulders to the bottom of her thighs highlights a woman’s femininity.  Vertically parallel shoulders and hips with a narrow waist cause an hourglass formation.
Clothes can be used to accentuate and mask particular parts of the body in order to make all women appear to have an hourglass figure. Ascertaining your exact body shape is essential if you are trying to select the most appropriate and flattering clothes.
A true body shape can only be determined if a person is wearing their underwear or skin tight clothing. Using a specialist geometric technique, a stylist can then establish your exact shape and therefore which clothes and styles you should wear:
• Ladies with a pear-shaped figure should endeavour to narrow their hips and widen their shoulders.
• Ladies with a boyish-shaped figure should endeavour to widen their hips and their shoulders but narrow their waist.
• Ladies with an apple-shaped figure should endeavour to elongate their figure and narrow their waist.
• Ladies with an inverted triangle-shaped figure should endeavour to narrow their shoulders and widen their waist.
• Hour glass-shaped women should endeavour to expose their curvature in a flattering and appropriate manner.
