Oval

Figure Descriptions

You are broader through the middle and upper torso, with no waist indentation, and often have a full bust and sloping shoulders.
You have proportionately slim legs and arms, with an overall rounded shape, prominent tummy, and flat derriere.

Style Suggestions

De-emphasize the waist and emphasize the shoulder/neck/face area or thigh/leg area, your narrowest aspects.
Create the illusion of height and long verticals with V-necks, elongated, tapering tunic tops, hip wraps, straight or narrow tapered skirts, and pant legs.
Remember: you can’t create a waist where non exists, and trying to do so only emphasizes it more.
