Lookin’ Good!
Every woman I know has a part of her body that she would like to switch with Halle Barry or Cindy Crawford. But since those two arent going to give up any part of their flawless figures, we need to work with what weve got.
Knowing your body type can be the first step to filling your closet with clothes that flatter your figure. Women with a small, narrow upper body and larger hips and thighs would be considered pear or diamond shaped. If you have a generous bust, round back and narrow hips, your body type is round. If you have a pronounced bust, small waist and curved hips you have an hourglass figure and may be related to Marilyn Monroe.
