The Goblet is described as broad shoulders, big boobs, no waist, narrow hips, long legs. Basically you’ve got it all going on up the top. You’re likely to have a large bust and ample belly. Your shoulders are wide and while your bust is large the cup size may not be huge but you’re wide […]
Trinny and Susannah: The Lollipop
Trinny and Susannah’s Lollipop shape is described as big tits, slight waist, slim hips and long legs. Think tall and slender, almost boyish really. Legs and arms will be long and slim leading to hips that are slender and a waist that is barely there. A lollipop is sort of straight up and down, right […]
Trinny and Susannah: The Pear
Trinny and Susannah’s pear shape is defined as: small tits, long waist, flat tummy, saddlebags and heavy legs. Ok. Ummm….but what does that mean. Basically you have big thighs.

One of the things that I, personally, have gained from writing this website is a greater measure of understanding of my own body and the shape that it is. How that translates into choosing clothing is still somewhat […]
Should Someone Pear Shaped Wear A Pencil Skirt?
Susana Monaco skirt – $47.40 from JBandme.com I’ve had quite a few queries about pencil skirts and pear shapes so wanted to address that. I love this awesome pencil skirt and it’s definitely something that I might wear and I’m a pear shape. But then not all pear shapes are created equal. Technically I am […]
Outfit Idea – Petite, Curvy
One of the things that I’ve found to be really important is to keep an eye on what other people are wearing and when I see something that I like I steal it. One of my favorite casual outfits to wear was inspired by a picture I once saw of Uma Thurman. Not that I […]
