Ladies, ladies, ladies… today we are going to have a little discussion on what seems to be a taboo subject for all women… (drum roll please)….BODY SHAPE!
Women’s body shapes over the years have been referred to as and been characterised by particular fruits and 2 dimensional shapes, with some having more negative connation’s than others….
But I’m here to tell you that there is no perfect body shape… each body shape has its assets and each body shape has its flaws… but they all have one universal characteristic and that is that they are all uniquely beautiful and can be enhanced by the right silhouettes.
But that is easier said than done!
Let me ask you this…. have you ever found a dress in a hue that couldn’t be more perfect for your complexion, that falls effortlessly over the mannequin and can’t help but take your breath away…. then you slip it on in the fitting room and you just can’t understand where it all went wrong?
Well that’s where we come in….
As a stylist, body shape is an essential in curating our clients looks.
Yes, colour and personality are also important considerations when styling, however it’s your body shape that you must have the clearest possible understanding of in order to eliminate the fitting room fear and put you on the path to closet contentment!
So with that said, it’s time to get to know your body….
Let me introduce you to our 5 body shapes and as we mentioned above, all women’s body shapes are beautiful and should be referred to in such a way… that is why you will see that each of our body shape descriptions refer to blooming flowers.
Firstly, we have our lovely Lavender’s…
Lavenders have a slender and straight silhouette, with shoulders and hips of a similar measurement.
Next, we have our Bluebells…
If you are a bluebell your silhouette is balanced and in perfect proportion, with a fuller bust and a well-defined waist.
Lily’s…
If you are a lily you have beautiful broad shoulders, smaller hips and slender legs.
Our Rose buds…
Rose buds, have killer curves with fuller hips and a smaller bust…. the opposite body proportions to a lily.
And lastly, we have our Tulips…
Our tulip ladies have a fuller bust and wider torso with show-stopping legs.
