"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?

Your tops should be:
  • Wide V or U Neck
  • Off the shoulder
  • Boat Neck
  • Structured shoulders and Embellishments
  • Nipped waist

Your bottom should be:
  • Dark colored pants or skirts
  • A-line Skirt
  • Straight Skirt

 Your dresses should be:
  • Empire waist dresses
  • Maxi

Your jackets should be:
  • Tailored hip length
  • Box shape also hip length

Extra tip: When picking your pants and skirts make sure they fall from the widest part of your hip plus, your pants should have simple pockets.

"Body Shape… the Perfect Fit" [Inverted Triangle]



Hi everyone lets continue our discussion about our body shapes.  We have taken on Straight Body Type and Hourglass Body Type, now its time for Inverted Triangle Body Type.


Inverted Triangle body type, also known as Wedge, has a large bust and broad shoulders. You have narrow hips and a straight waist; your bottom may tend to be on the flat side. Wedge body types has to be careful because broad shoulders can give you a hard look.  If you gain weight the weight would show around your belly and upper body.



As an Inverted Triangle your asset is beautifully shaped legs and you are easy to style.  So, if you’re an Inverted Triangle remember two things… one defined your waist and two... pick clothing that softens your shoulders.

Ok, now what is the best clothing to buy?

Your tops should be:
  • V-neck
  • Wrap tops
  • Dark color shirts
  • Shirts with banding at the waist

Your bottoms should be:
  • Wide legs or boot cut
  • Full or A-line skirts
  • Embellished or flap pockets
  • Straight or flared jeans

Your dresses should be:

Your jacket should be:

Extra Tips:
  • Wearing bright colors or prints on the lower half of your body will give you a more balanced look.
  • High waist pants and jeans are great style for you.
