Knowing Your Body Shape

For many of us plus sized divas finding stylish clothing proves to be a challenge. Why is it that plus sized seems to be automatically aligned with a square body shape?

As with a slim body type there are several different shapes that thick women carry. 

As a starting point we should know what body shape category we fall in to and what styles will flatter us. I have found the diagram below  to be quite useful. 

To determine your body shape start by looking at yourself in the mirror in your underwear. Stand with your legs together and your arms slightly away from your body. Pay particular attention to the area under your arms, bust, waistline, hips and thighs. Match your silhouette to the closest shape below. There you have it- you now know your body shape!
