Let's face it, we're not perfect. We all have things we would like to change about our body. Some people spend hours trying to figure out which styles suit their body shape but those days are over. I have put together a "how to" guide on how to dress for your body shape. Everything you need from clothing, accessories and shoes that will make your body look phenomal, regardless of the size or shape.
In my opinion, body shapes can be broken down into three categories: busty, pear-shaped and curvy.
Busty
Busty women generally have smaller hips, legs, arms and waist but are very "blessed" in the chest area. Some of Hollywood's celebrities who have been considered busty include Britney Spears, Penelope Cruz and Jessica Simpson. The best articles of clothing to choose are v-neck designs which will accentuate your breasts. Make sure you choose the right styles of v-neck tops, otherwise you'll end up looking a little trashy. If you want to show off your chest, necklaces will do the trick but if you're a little self conscious about the twins, you may want to stay away from necklaces, scarves or any other accessories that draw attention to the area.

Pear-Shaped
Pear shaped women are recognized as having smaller chests and averaged sizes waists with larger hips and a bigger bottom. Some of Hollywood's most popular pear-shaped women include Jennifer Lopez, Minnie Driver and Vanessa Minnillo. If you're pear-shaped and looking for the best way to accentuate your assets there are a number of effective techniques. First of all, skirts and dresses will make your hips and bottom look smaller - stay away from jeans and other tighter pants. Also, choose shirts with lots of detailing towards the top. This will draw the eye away from your hips and bottom and focus more on your neck, chest and face. Necklaces are a great accessory for pear-shaped women but stay away from bracelets. When your hands are at your side, bracelets draw attention to the hip area which is not an ideal area for women of this body shape.

Curvy
Curvy women are those blessed with full-figured bodies. Sometimes it is difficult to determine which clothes look best on curvier women because it differs from person to person. Much like bustier women, if curvy women choose clothing that's a little more provocative they may end up looking very trashy. Covergirl model, Queen Latifah knows how to rock the full-figured look and looks good in almost anything. If you have a curvacious body and would like to accentuate what you've got, choose shirts that are flowy and whimsical. These will hide certain aspects of your body while making you look feminine and beautiful. Likewise, skirts tend to look better on curvier women, as opposed to jeans or dress pants.
