"That Perfect Fit"
They say that a woman’s body is the most beautiful creation by God. Well, couldn’t agree more! And icing on the cake would be to believe in this well stated fact that ‘you’ are beautiful. Coming across all kinds of women, with all kinds of body types and mind-sets comes handy with my work. And one of the perks of being a clothes connoisseur is to not only pretty yourself up like a doll but also help others look nothing less than amazing!
I always had a flair for clothing and I feel disheartened when I come across a wardrobe malfunction. And it only increases with the number of ‘body types’. So, I thought why not help some of you who are looking for that little push to get the right fit and dress up like a damsel! After all, we can’t afford even a little slip of a dress over the shoulder in the middle of an amazing date, can we?
I recently got to interact with one of our customers who looked quite confused while flipping through the dresses in my store. She would put her hand on one, think for about ten minutes looking at every detail of the dress with eyes as curious as if discovering a new island in the neighbourhood and then switch to another one and the same process will be repeated till eternity! I couldn’t contain myself and looked through her curious eyes when she finally tried to approach me.
‘I am confused, can you help me with the selection’, she said almost hopelessly.
‘Sure! your body type is....aa’, before I could have dived into my knowledge of clothes complementing her body type, she took me aback by surprise.
‘Body type! does it even matter?’
Well she should ask those who long for one like hers. And I finally knew the reason for her confusion. She wasn’t aware of her body type and so didn’t know the right kind of clothes to chose from. She really became my motivation to write this blog about different kind of body types and the kind of clothes that go with each.
First of all, I want all you lovelies to believe that you all are pretty in your own ways. The key to own an amazing personality is to first accept your body the way it is and not try to alter it, apart from, of course little bit of fat here and there. All those amazing gowns and peplums and silhouette will no more be a nightmare once you know what suits you the best.
Here is the classification of the five different kinds of body types. To give you a good reference, I have inserted celebrities as examples so that you get a fair idea.
- Pear shaped - Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez
- Hour glass - Jessica Simpsons, Kate Winslet
- Apple - Angelina Jolie
- Banana/Ruler/Rectangular - Cameron Diaz
- Strawberry - Demi Moore, Lindsay Lohan
So, pick the one which is you from my next blog where I tell you how to paint the town red with that electric blue evening gown or a hot backless frill dress!
