With Some Help From Shop Your Shape , I found a body calculator that helps you dress for your shape. This website is a really good website that explains how to dress different parts of your body according to your shape.
Based off my Bust, Waist and Hip Measurements, I was given the body spoon!
I didn’t think I looked like a Spoon but their description was:
spoon

Your body type is: Spoon
As a Spoon Body type (sometimes called figure 8), your hips are larger than your bust and you have a defined waist. Your hips have a “shelf” appearance, you are prone to gaining weight in your tummy and have a tendency towards love-handles. While you may gain weight in your upper thighs and upper arms, your lower legs and arms are shapely and your best assets.
How to Dress a Spoon Body Shape
The key to dressing a Spoon body type is to draw attention to your upper body while deemphasizing your tummy and hips to create a more balanced appearance and create the illusion of an hourglass figure. Your legs are one of your best asset, so feel free to play with skirt lengths and show them off! To create the most curvaceous effect mix and match our suggested separates.
According to their calculations, this would be a great outfit for me to wear.
Or in actuality, something like this:
I really do believe this website has some good tips and outlines the different types of outfits that would be beneficial to my body shape. As a plus size woman, I know the difficulty finding clothes that accent certain features! The vendors are out there but they don’t try to help you find clothes that fit your specific body type.

straight
Your body type is: Straight
You have the most common body type. Over 45% of American women have a Straight body shape (sometimes called rectangle or ruler). This means that your hips and bust are balanced and your waist is not very defined. You probably have a bottom that is more flat than round. You tend to gain weight in your torso first and then your upper thighs and arms. Your lower legs are always shapely and one of your best assets.
How to Dress a Straight Body Shape
The key to dressing a Straight body type is to proportionally dress the top and bottom of your body while enhancing your waist. If you are comfortable doing so, you can wear form fitting clothing (such as a tube-type dress) and create a waist by adding a wide, dark belt. However, to create a more curvaceous effect add volume (or the illusion of volume) proportionally to your upper and lower body by mixing and matching suggested separates.

no apologies
No matter what size you are, big or small, you should never let anyone tell you how to feel about your body.
Ok, so here’s my rant on taboo body anatomy and porn and nudity. Essentially, I believe that people are to uptight about this stuff. Honestly, I am not very sexually active myself, but I still believe that people need to loosen up a bit. If you do not partake in sex that’s fine, but do not judge someone for using their bodies to have fun. Bodies are beautiful, and should be looked at. And that is where my porn rant comes in. If you answer “I have never watched porn” to someone who asks you if you have, you are probably lying. EVERYONE DOES IT. So, ‘fess up. It’s natural. People masturbate, like really, stop making a big deal out of our primal needs. Porn is porn, and the body is the body.
I also feel that if society accepted nudity more, than everyone would feel more comfortable being naked. There is nothing more liberating than feeling good naked, and that goes for every body size.
And there ends my rant.
I believe that you can be fit at a size 12 or a size 0. Size does not matter when it comes to how well you treat your body, because I could work out for 6 days a week (which I do) and still be a size 12 (which I am) because I am not willing to give up the food I love. But I balance that out with working out and a mind set that that healthy can be any size. This is a presumption that I hate. When people assume that you are not fit because of your size, or not strong because of your size. It goes both ways, for thin and curvy girls. So, here’s what I say: Stay healthy and treat your body like a temple because it’s the only one you have. Get fit for yourself, not for anyone else and have fun doing it!
Right now I am addicted to the Nike Training Club App for iPhone. Use it! It’s free and it’s highly recommended from a girl who prefers weight conditioning rather than running.
