Want to know your figure type?
Are
four figure shapes of short women? Knowing your figure type and which clothing and
shoes styles flatter your shape helps you select clothing that will accentuate
your best features and minimize areas that you want to de-emphasize.
1. HOURGLASS
A woman with an hourglass shape is equally balanced on top and bottom; that is, her bust measurement and hip measurement are about the same. Another characteristic of this figure type is a defined waistline. When a woman has an hourglass figure, the difference between the bust and/or hip measurement and the waist measurement is usually ten inches or more.
Considered
the ideal figure type, the hourglass shape is the figure type to keep in mind
when considering clothing options. When you create the illusion of an hourglass
shape if you have one of the other figure types, you'll also succeed in
emphasizing the areas you want to emphasize and de-emphasizing the others.
2. TRIANGLE
Women who have triangle-shaped figures
have proportionally smaller busts and/or narrower shoulders and larger hips
and/or thighs when compared to women who have hourglass figures. Also known as
a pear-shaped figure, the triangle-shaped figure is the most common figure type
for women.
Dressing for a triangle-shaped figure means selecting clothing and
ladies shoes that draws attention to
the bust, creates a defined waistline, and minimizes hips and thighs.
3. INVERTED TRIANGLE
A woman who has an inverted triangle-shaped figure has proportionally smaller hips and/or thighs and larger bust and/or wider shoulders when compared to a woman who has an hourglass figure. The inverted triangle is not a common figure type; however, with the popularity of bust enhancement by plastic surgery, it's becoming more common.
Dressing for an inverted triangle-shaped figure means selecting
clothing and ladies shoes that
minimizes the bust and creates a defined waistline. Otherwise, a woman who has
this figure type may look too top-heavy.
4. RECTANGLE
Women who have rectangle figures have relatively equal bust and hip measurements, just as a woman who has an hourglass shape does. However, a woman with a rectangle-shaped figure doesn't have a defined waistline. There's little difference in waist measurement when compared to bust and/or hip measurements, so the rectangle shape is more or less straight up and down. A variation of this shape is sometimes called an apple when the waist measurement is larger than the bust and/or hip measurement.

The major challenge for women who have a rectangle shape is to create the illusion of a defined waistline, which will make them look more like they have an hourglass shape.
