Rectangle

Figure Descriptions

You are straight up and down, with a somewhat small bust and little or no waist definition.
You have a columnar silhouette overall.
You may have a flashy back and slightly short neck, but you tend to have slim arms and legs.

Style Suggestions

Emphasize thighs and legs.
Try fluid, soft, flowing designs to create a feminine feel.
Nothing stiff or boxy as it mirrors body squareness overall.
Accentuate, don’t define, waist area.
Shaped vertical seams and slight drawstring gathering hint at a waist indentation.
Try monochromatic looks and one-piece dresses.
No  horizontal lines at the waist.
Styles with gentle curves counterbalance your columnar silhouette.
