Your Bodyshape

It is important to remember that not everyone fits into a perfect category you might a blend of two shapes or find you have to make certain concessions. For instance I am an hourglass because I fulfill most of that criteria but I don't have a Marilyn Monroe shape, my waist is not that tiny compared to my hips, but dressing styling myself as an hourglass works probably 98% of the time.
