Knowing ones body type is important when building your wardrobe

Hourglass
This body type is the most coveted of all body types! Women try their best to achieve an Hourglass figure through diet and exercise and surgical intervention!
know that we are born with our body shape because it is thr framework of our body, yes weight is going to fluctuate over time but our bone structure remains thr same!
Hourglass is thr most proportionate of all body types.
measurements
First grab your measuring tape a ribbon type measuring tape will work the best and you may want to grab a friend to help you!
-Gently wrap your measuring type around the widest part of your shoulders- this will give you the shoulder measurement
-Next you want to take your measuring tape and wrap around your bust next you are going to measure your natural waist the smallest part keep in mind that your natural waist will not be well defined in a rectangle
-Lastly you will measure the widest part of your hip/thigh area
Goal for dressing
You will want to draw attention towards your waist as it is the smallest part
don’t go with baggy clothes as this will end up looking frumpy and will overwhelm your body frame. Skin tight doesn’t necessarily always look the best either, well-fitted clothes is ways the way to go!
Closet obstacles
Your goal is to have well-fitted clothes and there is a fine line between well-fitted and too tight. Never want your clothes to be too tight! On the other hand you definitely do not want your clothes to overpower your figure, to hide it. Baggy and loose fitting clothing will not help you.
