B ODY S HAPE Your Body Shape is determined by your skeleton Most common body shapes are X, H, A, V, I, O, 8 Your body shape is the outline of your body (and doesn’t include things such as the size of your bust, bottom or thighs) Your body shape determines where you place detail or interest in clothes, and where you keep the clothing simple and free of detail www.bespokeimage.com.au

13. B ODY S HAPE If you are don’t have or are losing your waist, the key is to bypass it, don’t draw attention with detail or interest. Use vertical lines to slim and lengthen Use horizontal lines judiciously to balance Don’t wear more than 1 voluminous garment at a time – e.g. flowing skirt, fitted top www.bespokeimage.com.au

Don’t wear tops that are too long and visually shorten your legs – tops that end around the hip bone are universally flattering Don’t tuck if you don’t have a long waist Trying to hide a big bottom or thighs with a long top will backfire and make them look larger Pull up your sleeves to make your legs look longer www.bespokeimage.com.au
