Shopping for my Shape



About the Oval shape:

You are voluptuous and ample! You have an adorable face with cheeks that are full and squeezable. The length of your neck appears short but you have beautiful ample breasts.
Your shoulders could be prominent or average-sized, and they have a tendency to be slightly sloped. Your arms could look proportionate when compared to your upper torso. So, it balances out nicely. Some dressing challenges you may face are your front midsection "tummy" and your undefined waistline. 
However, your greatest asset is the bottom portion of your body. You have hips that look narrower relative to your entire body, thighs that are balanced, and legs that are amazingly shapely.

So, now that you're packed with all the information about your figure select, strut, and be confident in all the chic styles an oval shape has to offer.







Your Shape: Oval  

What to Wear:

  • Asymmetrical, cowl, scoop, boat, v-neck, or any style that exposes the neckline
  • Sleeves 3/4, 5/8 and bracelet-length
  • Lighter bottoms, darker tops. Un-tucked tops. Flat-front pants
  • Princess seams, dropped waist, blouson styled tops, faux wrap dresses, draped silhouettes
  • 'Peak' empire waist. High slits. Straight, tiered, tulip and trumpet skirts

What not to Wear:

  • Turtlenecks or styles that cover-up neckline
  • Designs with horizontal stripes, heavy pleating, ruffles, or extra details at the midsection
  • Classic empire waist, combi-dress, warp-around dresses with full skirts
  • Super-clingy and very fitted styles. Full-length sleeves
  • Pants with front pleats. Wide leg and baggy styles. High-waist bottoms
This isn't totally accurate, but, it's very close. I'll see if something else comes closer.. If not, I'll go with this. / Checked and even when I gave other answers that were possibilities, it still came out as oval.
