Apple Figure
If your waist seems undefined, or your figure seems straight without a waist,or your waist and hips seem the same width, then you have an apple figure.
You might think that your best bet is boxy clothes or baggy outfits or androgenous clothes. These, my friend are the worst things you can wear for your figure type. Your best clothes are the ultra feminine ones.
You just have to spend a little more effort to create the curves where you want them and to create a waist.
Treat the narrowest part of your ribs as your waist. On a true apple figure, that to be the narrowest part of your torso. Belt it. Wear empire waist clothes that bring the waist right up there. The most feminine styles are your styles, so count yourself among the luckier women.
In fact, trends in dresses have shifted towards the empire waistline, the best waistline for your figure. From Spring 2008 to Winter 2009, dresses tend to have higher waists, some having gone up to just below your bust. Frankly speaking, these dresses suit you far better than they would the pear figure or even the real hourglass figure. Fashion has swung in your favour.
Accessories are your secret weapon.
- Earrings to draw attention to your face.
- Bracelets and bangles to draw attention to your arms.
- Cocktail rings to draw attention to your beautifully manicured hands.
- A long sash to belt the empire waistline and which trails past your knees in the most feminine, alluring way, to draw attention away from your natural waistline.
