Diverstiy of Body Sizes and Shapes in Fashion


For centuries, women have tortured, starved themselves in the hope of reaching the idea of perfect body size to be called sexy. We can see on the Catwalk, Runways all models are showcasing all the shapes, sizes and ages and we thought that's the healthy and natural for a women. However, after the death of Brazilian models on 2006 all thin & skinny models has been banned on the catwalks and runways in favour of realistic body sizes. A totally drastic change. Of course, each of us wanted to have a healthy and shall we say a perfect and sexy body. That's why there are so many cosmetic surgery if one wants to repair a not perfect part of her body, but, not everyone has money to undergo such procedure.
Let's be realistic, no matter how big or small you are, you should be able to look, feel and dress like a model depend on how you carry yourself. That's what we call fashion. With FASHION designer clothing you don't need to preoccupy yourself by thinking you are too skinny, your butt is so big, you have a small or big breast. Keep in mind that nobody is perfect. Those supermodel we idolize think how many rice cake they drop. That's why we have to be thankful to the designers who banned the skinny models and promote the healthy and a full body girls on the catwalk because they realize that fashion designer clothing comes in all different sizes, shapes and styles. It is impossible to find a great and perfect fit, no matter what.

HOURGLASS SHAPE

The hourglass shape is curvy overall, with a defined waist. Your hips and shoulders are similar width with a medium to large bust. You have fleshy upper arms of average size. Your legs are full at the thighs and rear, while your lower legs are slim and shapely.

If you have the hourglass shape you can wear a V-neck dress to enhance the bust and pair it with colored pants or skirt to draw the attentions upward and minimize the hips. The dark color is also flattering because it emphasizes the waistline and minimizes hips.

TRIANGLE (PEAR) SHAPE

Also called a pear shape, women with a triangle shape have more prominent hips, thighs and rear, and less prominent shoulders and bust. They also have a defined waist, and average to large legs. A woman with a pear shape body have a bust that is smaller than their lower half, and full round fleshy buttocks that are sometimes flat.

If you have the pear shape the pants is perfect because it flatter your Pear figure with wide legs that balance the wider hips and thighs. The square neckline of the top will broaden your shoulders that emphasize a defined waistline. Also, the light color draws attention upwards.

OVAL (APPLE) SHAPE

Most of the weight is carried in the middle and upper torso. The legs are slender and arms are thin. The bust is larger than the hips are the buttocks are flat.

The perfect dress for an Oval shape is the asymmetrical style because it draws attention away from the mid section and the dress flatters the wide neckline that lengthens the neck detailing that draws the attention upwards. It is more awesome if you wear a knee length skirt or pencil cut because it flatters the oval shapely legs.

INVERTED TRIANGLE SHAPE
Women with an inverted triangle shape have a full bust, waist and upper back. They are less full in the hips, and have a flat rear. They also have a pronounced tummy and midriff, and slim arms and legs. They have a top heavy appearance, with broad shoulders and a full bust. The bust is larger than the hips.
