Scenario 1
A 21 year old women with a hourglass figure, going out on a night out.
I would dress her in this dress because its fitted but is the style will show off her curves and would be perfect for a night out.
Scenario 2
A 30 year old women going for lunch with her friends in the local area with a apple body shape.
I would dress her in this playsuit because its loose and will emphasise her chest area and cover her tummy. Also the tiny belt will pull her in at the waist.
Scenario 3
A women with a pear body shape, aged 40 taking the children to school.
I would dress this women in a light blouse and denim jeans because the jeans will pull in her bottom figure and the blouse will weigh out the top half of her body.

What to wear and what not to wear?!!!
APPLE body shape…
Clothing
that will best flatter your body shape will be empire line and longer length
tops will flatter your figure. Go for low-ish necklines to draw the eye
upwards.
Clothing
that you should really avoid are short, boxy jackets and pleated or tiered
skirts are not your friends. Cast them out now and feel forever better.
RECTANGLE body shape…
Clothing
that will make you look your best are structured coat that cinches in with a
belt will make you look more curvy. If you’ve a small bust you can get away
with tricky to wear high-necked tops.
Clothing
that won’t flatter your body shape are low rise jeans and trousers can make
your torso look too long. Stay away from sheath dresses and stick to styles
with more shape instead.
PEAR body shape…
Clothing
you that will bring out your curvy side are balance out your curvy bottom half
with bold bright tops or tops with large collars, lapels or sleeves.
Clothing
that you should avoid should be tube, pencil skirts/ dresses and fishtail
skirts, especially tight-fitting ones will only emphasise your hips and behind.
HOURGLASS body shape…
Clothes
that will show your body shape off best are wrap dresses, waist-cinching belts
and flared or wide leg jeans will work wonders. Not necessarily all at once.
Clothing
you should totally avoid are shapeless baggy jumpers will hide your wonderful
waist. Unless you add that magic belt!

Body shapes in more detail
Body shapes
overview
There are
many different body shapes but there are four main ones which are Pear, Apple,
Hourglass and Rectangle.
Apple body
shape
Rectangle bodies are often straight up and down, they don’t really have many curves but there are ways you can emphasis your body by the clothes you were to make you look like you have more curves.
Pear shape
Pear shapes
are often bottom-heavy and are bigger around the hips, bottom or thighs and
usually have a flat stomach. This is the most common body shape of women.
Hourglass
body shape
Hourglass body shapes are usually a
lot curvier, they usually have bigger breasts and bottom which contrast a
smaller waist, people are very lucky to have this shape and need to learn what
clothes to wear and not to wear baggy clothes which will hide your figure.
