WIDE ON TOP

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:

CLEOPATRA
An Egyptian Queen with a Taste for italian
Full Top/Narrow Bottom

Some women are larger on top because of wide shoulders or large breasts. If "wide shoulders" sound like you and you have average hips, your dressing options are plentiful. Like the "hour glass" shape, your proportions shouldn't present you with too many challenges.

But if the wideness of your upper torso is in the breast area, you are not alone. (Authors' note: Childhood memories recall the bountiful bosoms of our mothers. Breasts full of life and love with bras so bounteous that they also held handkerchiefs and coin purses.)

Key: If the fullness you carry on top is unwanted (some do pay for it, you know) turn the area into a "no man's land". Nothing should cause the eye to linger like big lapels, short sleeves, big belts, tucked in tops etc. Think of drawing the eye downwards with duster-length jackets or skirts and pants with interesting details.

If your fuller breasts are due to the bounty nature bestows on us with age, check out a section in our book entitled: On Top of (not over) the Hill. It's full of tips and hints to do with the culture shock that comes as we mature.

This is a sampling of the full, illustrated descriptions of the body shapes we discuss in the book. If you're at all undecided about the book, just take advantage of our guarantee.
