I love watching make over and style programmes but the trouble I find is that unless you volunteer for one of these shows or employ your own personal stylist it’s still hard to know what suits you. These shows are very much based on the particular individual featured and actually don’t help me. When I’m shopping for clothes, it would be good to have some body type dressing tips.
My problem is that I’m unsure of my actual body type shape and I think a lot of women are also. I would hazard a guess that I fall into the pear shape category but some of my friends say that I’m more of an hourglass. Unless you are an expert I think it is hard to look at yourself in a non-biased way and working out the answer to the burning question “what body shape am I?”
Recently, however, I was looking on the Internet at fashion and style advice for women and I found the answer to my prayers in the form of a brilliant website called Love Clothes Shopping. It actually has a body shape calculator and is therefore a definitive way to find out our true body type shapes- so no more guessing! The body shape calculator asks for your bust, waist and hip measurements then tells you what your shape is and also which female celebrities also have that shape, which is a fun and interesting twist.
So I bet you’re wondering whether I’m a pear or hourglass! Well it turns out I am actually an hourglass shape. My friends were right, which is a nice surprise as I had always thought they were just being kind!
Now I know my shape it’s made buying clothes so much easier. Love Clothes Shopping not only tells us our body type shapes and all the possible body shapes for women, but also features clothes for hourglass figures (and all other shapes) from High Street brands like Miss Selfridge and French Connection and shows us girls how to wear the latest trends for our body type shapes. You buy the clothes directly from the High Street retailer as Love Clothes Shopping re-directs you to their website. I found this to be something I liked because you know you are buying from a trusted and established brand with proper returns policies.
I absolutely love this website and I can’t believe I ever survived without it! I recently bought a dress for my Christmas party through Love Clothes Shopping and got so many compliments! They have so many gorgeous dresses for hourglass figures it was hard to buy just one. I wanted to share this with other women because I really feel that this is the way we should all shop for clothes, with confidence and knowing that what we buy will make us look a million dollars!
