As a women's belt designer and personal stylist I've been working with women for over 14+ years and if I could have a penny for every time I hear ladies say negative things about her body, I'd be rich!

My reply to these comments are always... 

It's not your body; it's the clothes. 

Most women don't look flattering in tops like these (not even models)...

As you can see, these tops make you (or your customers) look bigger, and even barrel shaped. 

What happens is that the fabric hangs straight down from your bust and creates the illusion that your entire torso is the same width as you bust. 

What I suggest, are more tailored tops that drape over your body beautiful and work with your curves and not against them. 

These are the more flattering options (by the way, these are the same models from the photos above):

Can you believe the difference and how much more figure flattering these tops look?

They emphasize the slimmest part of a woman’s torso and also makes your bust look gorgeous and shapely.  

If you’re worried that a slim top will show off your tummy, then pick a top that’s slim around the rib cage and then gently glides across the tummy without being too tight - or tuck! :)  

What’s incredibly interesting is that this trick works if you’re a slim woman with a small chest too.  

If you're wearing the right top, you can also belt! Yes, even curvy women.  But we'll get back to that later. 

For now, I'd like to share with you suggested apparel options for each body shape. 

You can use this as a guide to see what clothes you carry in your store for each body shape. 

We are not all designed the same... but at least you can use these 5 body shapes as guidelines to make your customers feel like a million bucks by helping her choose clothes that work with her natural curves.
