If you are anything at all like myself, you'll get on and off the scale several times before you accept the reading....I carry the scale from one room to the next dropping it to the floor and stepping on it....why? Who knows....because just by a slight chance it may read a lower body weight in the kitchen vs the bathroom! Hey a few pounds are a few pounds! I am your average build, about 5'5 and my weight fluctuates. I'm not getting any younger and gravity is setting in...but I still feel alive and sexy! Women have various body shapes.....what our shape happens to be determines how we should dress.
What Is The Perfect Shape?
Luckily beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, the current stereotype of a "perfect" female body shape is moderately tall with a body balanced vertically, an hourglass figure and an oval shaped face.For males the ideal is tall with a balanced vertical body and a trapezoid torso (that is, broad shoulders and chest tapering to medium waist and hips) and an oval face. In the 50s and 60s the hour glass shape was quite appealing. Call me old fashion, but that shape still appeals to me. I don't think that it's necessary to put so my emphasis on your shape. Not all women are the same, not even close...our shapes are decided by many things, genetics, diet, healthy issues, and good ole' menopause. Nothing sucks worse than having a great shape and then you wake up one morning to find out someone put all of your clothes in the dryer and they shrunk! That;s my story and I'm sticking to it!
So, You Don’t Have The Perfect Shape?
Not many of us do (only about 2% of the population). However, you can create the illusion of a perfect body by choosing clothes to create the appearance of perfect proportions. It's all about balancing your perceived shape to the "perfect" shape (or moving your appearance in that direction, anyway).
For example, as a female, if you have long legs and a short, rectangle torso you can create the illusion of a longer, leaner, inverted triangle torso (the next best female shape). Do this by choosing tops that emphasize your shoulders and that flow through the waist, with a hemline between the lower hip to the tip of your fingers and with no horizontal seams across your torso.
Determine Your Vertical Body Type
Start by assessing your vertical body proportions. This is the proportion of the bottom half of your body compared to your top half.Vertical shape is important for identifying your best garment lengths (tops and bottoms) and will come into play in determining if you should tuck-in tops or wear top garments un-tucked.There are three vertical body types and these are applicable to both males and females.
The most accurate way to determine your vertical shape is to measure your full height and the height to your hip-line (your hip-line is the circumference around your hips where your bottom is fullest) and determine where your hip-line comes in relation to your height.
A suggestion if I may?
Be happy with YOU! Find the right clothes to fit your body so that it accentuates your curves best.
Be happy with your shape....it is your body and symbolizes who you are!
