We’re all individuals with interesting and beautiful variations. Because every woman is unique, in the next few chapters we will explore the individual aspects of each body, and make specific dressing recommendations for you no matter what your size, age, lifestyle, or budget. To begin to determine the right fashion silhouettes for you, we start with a careful examination of your body.

The first step in the process of learning to make the most of your physical best is an honest, nonjudgmental examination of your body. I realize that some of you may have never looked in the mirror without finding flaws, but try to think about what your body is versus what it’s not. Focus on the proportions you see. Try not to judge yourself as you relate to anyone else or to some fantasy image, Look for the lines, shapes, and proportions of your body as if it were a work of art on canvas, not as compared to any other body, or the body you used to have. (You might imagine yourself describing your body in great detail to an alien creature unfamiliar with our judgments about beauty and size. What proportions, dimensions, and shapes would you see and report on if you weren’t being negatively judged?) The key to Plus-Style dressing is in manipulating and balancing your proportions not in making your body look smaller.

What do you see? Are your hips rounded or more square? Is your waist very noticeably smaller than your bust or hips? Do your shoulders appear very rounded or somewhat square? Are your thighs or your hips the broadest part of your body? Are your legs relatively slender compared to your torso? Do you appear bigger above the waist or below it? We’re looking at the big picture first, then the details.

In theory, in the art of the ancient Greeks and in the minds of all designers, a “perfect” figure is evenly proportioned top to bottom, seven and a half or eight heads tall translating to four equal measurements: top of the head to the underarm, underarm to the break of the leg, leg break to the knee, and knee to the floor.

Of course, most people don’t measure the theoretical ideal, but it’s really helpful to know your own proportions. Many women don’t know what to wear because they don’t recognize their proportions, dimensions, or shape, (This isn’t just a problem for plus-size women by the way, and smaller women are just as confused!) For instance, one woman finds regular plus sizes way too long but may not fit plus-size petite styles. Careful measurements would reveal that her torso was about average, but her legs and arms were very short. Petite bodies aren’t petite all over, and long bodies can be average or even short in some places. Another lovely woman was totally average in upper torso, lower legs, and elbow to wrist measurements, but very short in upper arms and thighs, as well as rise, or waist to crotch. Now that she knows her differences versus the average, or what most designers are constructing clothes for, she can shop for the correct styles and shapes more knowledgeably and do less altering. You can, too.
