How to dress for your body shape in under 12 mins
Video Overview & Insights
Finalllly learn to dress for your body shape π‘ it's taken me far too long to realise that clothes are simply tools... and not all tools get the job done! It's about selecting the right clothing "tools" for your shape, so you can feel radiant, confident and empowered. There is a shape for everyone, and clothing cuts to match. Enjoy my friends π
Hello friends β€ two important things:
1. Iβm so sorry but I realised there is a mistake in the βinverted triangleβ screen. It should say βwider shoulders to hipsβ. Total oversight on my behalf, and Iβm so sorry for not picking it up in my edit β€
2. You can access all my free style downloads here π₯° > https://libby.myflodesk.com/libby

I'm a mix between hourglass and inverted triangle. Like dead center between the two.

Iβm a rectangle but I have an βendoβ tummy which is almost always extended and bloated so it also creates the apple dilemma of needing to flatter the tummy while still needing to add curves around my bust and waist or else I look rectangular. My torso is short and my legs are thin and long. Iβve found peplum works well for me (especially paired with a pencil skirt). Floor length a-line skirts. Elastic waist wide leg drape-y pants. V necks or deep scoop. Waist definition is usually a must. If I hide my belly by draping off my bust and skimming over my tummy, even with wide pants, my top proportions just look largely out of balance. I always need something to highlight narrower parts of my body to balance the fleshy parts.

I carry my weight in my tummy. I basically look pregnant. But I have a very small bust and a short torso..the short torso is the worst as high waisted fall under my small bust so basically emphasize my big round tummy. Alot of standard advice doesn't take into account my short torso.

SPOON BODY SHAPE?

00:38 - The Truth
01:17 - What Youβll Learn
I guess Iβm a pear shape when looking at my shoulders compared to my hips, but Iβm large breasted so I have the same upper body struggles as someone with wide shoulders. Would that make me hourglass then? Iβm not sure which I am.

01:53 - Body Shapes
Yeah, I can see now that one particular body shape can be quite different if you take the proportions into account. You have a inverted triangle, so do I, but I have small breast, a long body, etc, so we end up with complete different proportions within that one body shape.
All things you say about this body shape are correct. It only took me half my life to figure that out. Today I bought finally a blazer...and will bring it to a tailor, there's just no other way, need a XL for the shoulders and arms, so the back downwards is way to wide.

my body shape is a mix of rectangle & hourglass but i loved oversized t-shirt or i want to find something comfortable but i cannot and my favt-shirt oversized doesn't look good on me
05:24 - Your Dimensions
06:00 - My Proportions Example
Hourglass here. Basically anything high waisted and fitted at the waist looks great. I also love a peplum style top on me. As I am petite I do need to be careful with oversized pieces as they are more likely to overwhelm my frame, especially if there is no waist definition.

Iβm a inverted Triangle
07:32 - Mini Wardrobe Audit
08:10 - Styling Adjustments and Tips
Iβm apple/rectangle and not on the slimmer side, with narrow hips and slim legs. Think cake pop (π€£) Surprisingly, slightly longer and less full peplums work wonders for the hips
09:30 - Why Do a Wardrobe Audit
10:05 - Your Reminder
i'm an inverted triangle leaning a bit towards hourglass and have very broad shoulders. i have noticed that dresses; loose shoulders or sleeves wide v neck and round neck suits me the most but narrow neck lines and tops or dresses with colars look very bad on me

@sharvigoyal7096Hourglass body shape πππ
@Patiram-c4jSoft hourglass as per chatgpt possible rectangle
@yogalicious_123-j9bCan you make a version for men lol
@NateDaBestestMy tip to disguise a short waist is to wear a long necklace as this elongates the front. Also wearing a jacket that has three quarter length sleeves or folded up sleeves helps reduce that short-waist look as long sleeves 'drag down' the appearance but three quarter length sleeves look more balanced.
@kpardeer3090Clothes are always tight in my shoulders and hips! Now I know my shape and will be experimenting with belts a lot more.
@sara_sebsShoulders??? What about my massive chest. Now that's the real problem.
@JP-pu6zhHow can you leave out chest size? Makes a huge difference in how clothes fit!
@ameliaf784I am triangle and rectagle more rectangle
@Kylicat0You are soon right
@Nicehair_B-b7uItβs hourglass
@brittneyguess3618This is very well styled.
@SobinFashionNice video! I used to be a pear shape body form, now probably more of a rectangular striving to get back to the pear shape ππ. I was a few kg less and with a wonderful posture and figure, yet still would find some flaws about my body every day. Don't make this mistake! live your life fully and appreciate your body, it works for you every day!
@tatiana.lifeinglowVisually im more of a rectangle. Measurements wise I am an hourglass. But with a small to medium bust and large back.

@its_IVYY-2015Me to inverted triangle π’π’
@ShivaniUpadhyay0Iβm an inverted triangle too. All the points u put under the category is what Iβve discovered is right for my shape: an a-line skirt/dress more suits it, yes! And now that the scarf is currently in,u can tie it around the hips (or even tie a sweater around hips) to visually widen the hips. Great vid!ππ»
@goldenrayofcentralsun1111Your example vids are confusing, bc the colos look better in the first one yet the shape of the clothes is better in the second one, so whn you look both they look good in their own ways... thus not making the point for people who know nothing.
@wild_cub_timesHi Libby! I have a similar inverted triangle body-type as you, although also the same size on hips and bust and a slim waist on a tall figure. So I'm a combined inverted triangle and long hourglass. The best visual balance effect comes from wearing flared trousers with a fitted top, though not with a t-shirt! Thank you for helping me realize that some t-shirts may look problematic on us, inverted triangle ladies! I feel more comfortable wearing either sleeveless shirts or 3/4 sleeve tops. Also I gave up wearing sailor tops or t-shirts with horizontal lines. They visually enhance my bust (unnecessarily). Thanks for the tips!
@Lucia_1990I should be rectangular but i have extra weight so I'm an apple. In other words I'm a cylinder. π
@SARA0766I use to be pear-shape but my measuring tape says I'm hourglass
