Welcome to Gaia! ::

Your body shape and how to flatter it!

These are the basic body types:

The apple, the pear, the hourglass, and the tube. (The tube is also called the brick and like ten other names. If it's a body shape that looks like a rectangle, that's the tube)

However, there is a body shape that is missing from this chart that is going to very important to our purposes, the ice cream cone. (shown to the right)


Each body type needs to be dressed in a certain way here let me give you an example.

see how in the first one she has no real determinable form? her breast are minimized and her hips are also minimized while making a straight line between the two.
That changes her from a nicely curved cello (advanced body types, she's an elongated hourglass ;3) to a stick... not even a tube a tube has some curve.

However with the right cloths you can see her tiny waist that she has a nice bust and some hip to her.
Please determine your body type ^^ and then proceed to the appropriate post.

Post 5: THE TUBE

The tube, the ruler, the brick, the column. This shape has several names for it.
You have very little curve to your body and basically... look like a brick x.x

This shape is SO in style right now. Shift dresses, which make everyone but the ice cream cone and you look like chub muffins, make you look waif like and thin basically all that stuff that's so 'in' right now is ALL you. Those big floofy neck lines, and skirts? You all the way.

You have to remember to buy in your size but nothing to tight. Have fun with your lack of need for a bra, and cute little butt, but avoid things with a cinched in waist or anything that tries to show off breasts or a butt. It'll make you look like you completely lack them
