Pear – Like Shakira sings…your hips don’t lie! Accentuate your waist with an a-line skirt that skims your hips.
Athletic – Muscular build and lines. Create dimension with feminine details and an intricate neckline.
Straight – Willowy like Kate Moss or Calista Flockhart? Highlight a lean silhouette in a floor-sweeping look with a high neck and visible waist.
Hourglass – Va-va-voom! Like the song says…You’re sexy and you know it! Emphasize yourcurves in a fitted skirt and asymmetric hemline.
