Hi, my name is Lisa and welcome to my blog. My aim here is to focus on providing a resource for people who need information about what to wear to suit their body shape. There are a ton of books out there with lots of information about what to wear and some of the best I’ll review and you can buy right now from the resource page. These books and TV shows give a lot of good information but when you’re on your own its not quite that simple to put into practice. Which is why I wanted to put together a blog with all the practical information that’s available as well as the opportunity to discuss with others how it’s working out for us.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’m a writer and researcher and recovering fat chick. I’d like to say that was because I’ve shed 30 pounds but I’m afraid that’s just wishful thinking on my part. It’s more like 10 pounds but it’s enough for me to start feeling better about myself and wanting to reflect that in what I wear. Whenever I daydream about myself I always see myself as being like Sophia Loren, all windswept and interesting and, of course, sexy as all get out. In reality I look more like John Travolta in Hairspray with lots of big hair and curves that are just this shy of being bulges. I decided that along with my 10 pounds I would ditch my frumpy wardrobe as well and take action toward that sexy, confident person I always picture myself as. Unlike in the past I decided the way to do that was not by dieting and exercising obsessively until I break down and inhale a packet of chocolate cookies in defense, but to dress as if I were an attractive, sexy woman right now.
The real problem in the past has been no idea what to buy. What looks good on me? What should I avoid? What will work with what I already have? I’ve always found clothes shopping to be enormously frustrating. Either the clothes were too small or they just had no … zing. So rather than heading off to the mall for another round of masochistic shopping I decided to do a little research first and make a plan. The added benefit being that with my new found knowledge I might just be able to provide a little help to other.
I hope you join me on this journey to a sexier, more stylish me.
Good shopping,
LISA
About Lisa
Hi. I’m unsure of my body shape as my measurements are 35″ shoulders, 25.5″ waist, 34″ hips. I have quite large breasts but a large bum and large thighs.
Thankyou.

Hi Sam, you’re an hourglass by your measurements.
I am so following this rule! When your curvy it’s great to feel confident.
This year,I told my teacher, So miss what can i do to hide er.. my weirdness?
It seemed like she knew what I meant by saying, Be proud of your body shape, girls would kill to have your body.
Stupid whole friggin skinny stick girl thing! Because, seriously, what’s so good about being a stick?!
Thanks Evelyg
You’ve exactly right. Stupid skiiny stick girl thing. It’s annoying and just plain wrong.
As to shape; the definitions of shape are about ratios between your shoulders, waist and hips. You can be curvy and be a rectangle. You can be skinny and be an hourglass if the ratios are right.
Just because you have curves doesn’t make you an hourglass. I have huge curves and I’m definitely pear shaped. I have large breasts as well and a tiny waist so reasonably I should be an hourglass. But I have problems fitting my lower half (I have wide hips and flat butt and big thighs). It wasn’t until I started taking some ideas from pear shaped that I found things worked for me.
Also don’t just look at style for a rectangle. These are just ideas, from lots of different sources. Make your own idea. Choose what works for you. At the end of the day no-one knows what works for you better than you!
