Do you have:
- A full bust?
- A waist?
- Rounded hips and bottom?
If so, you could have a full-hourglass figure. Celebrity point of comparison? Think Jennifer Lopez-like curves.
Key pieces for your wardrobe:
- Shaped dresses, especially wraps or shifts in soft, bias-cut fabrics to accommodate your curves.
- Flat-fronted trousers, preferably side-zipped to create less bulk at the waist. Keep it simple.
- Shaped tops – like dresses, try wrap or cross-over styles.
- Skirts with shaping – try bias-cuts or paneled.
- Invest in a shaped coat – shawl collars are good, as are single-breasted, shaped styles.
Take-away tips:
- Ensure that your fabrics are all soft and fluid – nothing boxy or stiff.
- Beware of jeans – too many bulky pockets!
- Avoid patterns with stripes and checks.
