Body Shapes/ Body Lines

Straight Lines and Curved Lines which one are you?

To understand the style of clothes that will suit your body you have to
first look at the line of your body. The overall look of our bodies can
be more straight lines or more curved lines.
In talking about straight and curved lines we are not talking
about shape. Think of the letter X and compare it with the number 8
both have shape but one with more straight lines and one with more
curved lines.
Some of us have a combination of both.
Start by looking at your face shape. Does it have Sharp/Straight lines or Curved lines? Look at your chin and nose. Are your eyebrows straight or do they have a curved arch?
Moving down to your body, what do you see?
