DRESS FOR YOUR BODY TYPE.

 Fashion is all about dressing your body. If you know your body shape- and every woman should - then you will be able to find clothes that fit and flatter.
      Body shape is all about proportion and fashion is all about dressing those proportions to look their very best.  When you think about body types, don't focus on height and weight...focus on shape.  A slender girl can have the same body shape as a curvy girl, just as a short woman can have the same body shape as her taller friend. Our body shapes are generally narrowed down to five categories : PEAR, WEDGE, RECTANGLE, APPLE & HOURGLASS.  Spend some time in front of the mirror and do a fair and honest assessment of your body.  Then put these fashion tips to work for you.
