It is important to recognize your body type. Some women are round and curvaceous and look well in shapely silhouettes, rounded collars, soft fabrics and shapes that flatter their contours. Some women are angular and look best in structured, architectural styles that have hard edges and are made in sleek firm fabrics. Some women have hourglass shapes and are flattered in garments with fitted waists that accentuate their broad shoulders and balanced hips. Once your body type is analyzed, you will be less frustrated because you will be able to zero in on the silhouettes that are best for you.
