I have been dressing women for several years. I see them entering, measuring, looking in the mirror. Listening to the comments and hearing from the side how they all know exactly what will suit them :-)
Which cuts best flatter your body shape? For this flattering blue dress
1. Hourglass body structure (X structure)
Ideal body structure in terms of proportions: equal width of shoulders and pelvis, narrow waist. If you are endowed with such a physique, all you have to do is emphasize it.
What will suit you? Tight items such as tight pencil dresses, tight skirts, shirts with small and short sleeves, shirts with necklines and skinny pants.
What won't suit you? Avoid as much as possible oversized cuts that expand from the chest down. They will only fatten you and not flatter you.
Tight-fitting items and shirts with small and short sleeves will suit an hourglass body type. to the black shirt , to the blue dress , to the green shirt
2. Triangular body structure (A structure)
Women with a triangular body shape will often have a wider pelvis width than shoulder width, and a narrow waist. Such a body shape will be complimented by cuts that balance the width of the shoulders and the width of the pelvis.
So, for example, romantic shirts with volume in the sleeves, batwing shirts, A-line or loose-line dresses and straight-line pants will be flattering.
If you have a round body shape, you can notice that the dominant part of your body shape is the center of the body and the stomach, while the waist is a bit blurred.
To dress flatteringly, simply accentuate your waistline and blur your stomach.
How do you do that? Loose shirts with a V-neckline, shirts in light fabrics, dresses with slight cuts and dresses with a seam under the bust.
A body structure in the shape of an inverted triangle, that is: shoulders wider than the pelvis, and a narrow waist. Women with such a body structure have shoulders that are actually the most prominent and widest part of the body. Therefore, in order to dress flatteringly, you should create the illusion that your shoulders are narrower. How do you do that? Using collared shirts, wide tank tops, dresses with a slight cut and tight at the waist and pants with a wide cut.
What does a rectangular body shape mean? The width of the pelvis and the width of the shoulders are equal, and the waist line is blurred. To compliment such a body shape, we prefer to create the illusion of a more feminine waistline. How do you do that? Shirts with deep necklines, flimsy skirts, dresses and shirts with a waist belt or with a cut at the waist that created the appearance of narrowing the waist, Kofiko pants.
