It took us a long time to realise the importance of body assessment. What we conveniently forget is that all our bodies will change over the years due to:
- Lack of exercise
- Change of lifestyle
- Career changes
- Children etc.
As these changes appear gradually we often tend not to notice it as much and consequently we go to buy or select the wrong size in clothes. Having a particular body shape does not mean that size or fashion does become a problem. Determining and accepting what body shape you are should give you the courage to make sensible fashion decision incorporating both style and comfort. Reflecting over the past 3 decades my body has changed. I can sympathise with you and know how sometimes fashions of the day or styles of the month often create an acceptance difficulty and or confidence problems in selections of clothes. However, I think knowing your body shape is the first step to a new you. Hour Glass
