Why is your Favorite LBD the one that is your favorite?  The LBD that you are most likely to pine for when its in the laundry or at the cleaners?  The most likely answer is that this is the LBD that feels the best and you consider to make you look your best.  Women are often shocked when they learn they have sold themselves short…they could look and feel so much better if their LBD really fit the best it could. 

What’s your Body Type?  Are you a rectangle? a triangle?  inverted triangle?  Depending on how my exercise and intake regimen, I go back and forth between a rectangle and a triangle. Reality is, without some crazy plastic surgery, I will never be an hourglass.  Instead of worrying about what isn’t, I have discovered a few clothing tricks that allow me to dress for the life I want in the body I have. 

Take a body test to see for yourself!  Click here to check out the Instyle Body Profiler.  Once you’re there, Click on Fit Profiler.  Grab a tape measure and a friend.  Have your friend measure your chest, your waist right at your navel and your hips at their widest point.  Input the numbers and the profiler will come back with your body type and some great tips for finding clothes that best fit the body you have! 

Are you a rectangle?  Look for ties, scarves, rouching, ruffles and puff sleeves on top and low rise jeans, a-lines or flared skirts on the bottom to create feminine curves. 

Are you a triangle?  Try vibrant colors on top, wide leg pants, a-line cuts that flow over the hips, and flowing drapy fabric on bottom with structure on top.  Please DON’T wear a sack that hides your hips and completely loses the rest of you!  And boxy suits…FORGET IT! 

Are you an inverted triangle?  Look for outfits that will fill out your lower half and draw attention away from the center of the body.  Tulip shapes, wrap details, and full skirts look just great!
