Dress Me Now

WIDE ON THE BOTTOM

Each shape has a name so that if you brave your closet or local mall without a copy of our body shapes, you'll still remember what your strengths are. In our Book Dress me Now - How to Make Your Wardrobe Behave this shape is named:

VENUS DE MILO
Michaelangelo's Armless Beauty
Narrow Top/Full Bottom

If you have wide hips, try being thankful for them while you curse them. They're probably your grandmother's hips and they bore her many children. If it's your tummy that has grown and childbirth is the culprit, love it for what it's given you. (If it were perfectly flat, chances are your children would not be with you.)

Many American women, especially those whose ancestors were taken from the western part of Africa, carry this shape in a most beautiful way. Balance is the key word with this shape as with the others. Think of the widest part of your body as a strength that doesn't need any more attention and dress accordingly.

Key: Draw the eye up with accessories and keep all detail away from the hip area (i.e. buttons, ornaments, jacket hemlines and trim). Don't cinch anything at the waist or tuck in tops. Try monochromatic dressing, shoulder pads, sleek high heels instead of clunky footwear.
