Body Shape Analysis
Discover how to dress for body confidence – maximise your unique shape, feel good in your clothes, enhance your assets, express your personality and redirect attention from any areas you are self-conscious about.
Body Shape Analysis
During the session we’ll take full body measurements, knowing this is really helpful as our body shape can change with age, weight gain or loss. We’ll try on clothes to see how they fit, drape or cling.
After this session you’ll have a greater understanding of your wonderfully unique shape… and what styles of clothes, cuts, seam placements, pockets, pleats, shapes, patterns, and prints will help amplify your assets.
Understanding our own body shape can be tricky, as it’s hard to be objective about our own body. Studies show that when women are asked to select body shapes that represent their shape and size, they tend to opt for shapes and sizes that are much larger than they are – suggesting we are all susceptible to a little body dysmorphia.

We’ll go through the exact measurements you should have for your body shape. If online, I will guide you; if in person, I will take the measurements myself.
We’ll look in the mirror and talk through what you see vs what I see – and I will get a better understanding of your body confidence.
Through try-ons and small styling tweaks, mini-no-sew styling hacks, we can alter how your clothes fit.
I will demonstrate how to achieve the agreed look, whether that’s balance or a more expressive interpretation that makes you feel confident with your shape.

No, this is about understanding your shape and proportions. The session is all about how to create balance and/or visual interest using styling tricks and techniques to maximise your existing clothes. During the session, recommendations for types of clothes for your shape will be made.
Your measurements, your vertical proportions, personalised tips that were discussed during your session, and how to apply those to create looks as agreed during the session.
