Workchic Fitting Room Series: Are you a Rectangle?
Do you have a rectangle shape? What does that mean exactly? Basically you can be defined as having this shape if your shoulders, bust, and hips all have about the same measurement.  Therefore you are always trying to create curves and a waistline.
So how do you create feminine curves when you have boyish frame? Here are our suggestions on what to look for on your next shopping trip!
1. Ruffles on the top and bottom create an illusion of a tiny waist.
2. A tie front shirt with a V neckline draw your eye upwards and away from your waist.
3. Puff sleeves visually create an extension of your shoulders therefore creating a smaller waistline.
4. Ruching at the bustline whether on a top or dress mirrors an empire silhouettes creating a narrow waistline.
Here are some example that apply to the rules above!

Roxy Embroidered Tie Front Top-$40.00
