"Body Shape… Perfect Fit" [Diamond]

I’m really excited to discuss the next two body shapes, Diamond and Oval. I’ll be honest; the reason is because I fit into their category.  Another reason is because not that many people really talk about us curvy women. So, let’s get started with Diamond.

Diamond body type has shoulders that are narrower than your hips. Your waist is larger than your bust and hips, with small to medium breast and a flat buttock and you carry some weight in your upper legs. With a Diamond shape it is important to pay attention to your upper body because you tend to gain weight mainly in your stomach and hips, which makes your waist not very defined.

As a Diamond body type your best assets are shapely lower legs and beautiful arms. So, if you’re a Diamond shape remember these… one... balance your bust and shoulder with your waist and two…. adding curves to your upper body is important.

Ok, now what is the best clothing to buy?
