Finding clothes that fit and flatter your body shape is one of the most important parts and one of the biggest challenges in clothes shopping. In both of my books I describe and give styling suggestions for the body shapes that are considered standard for most women. But we all know that just as we are combinations of color “harmonies” (seasonal color palettes) and “essences” (style archetypes) we also are often a combination of body shapes. Still, identifying your dominant shape will give you clues about how to drape it in the most flattering manner.
