Dress Better; learn your shape

It took me quite some time to understand why clothes I bought that looked so good in the store, didn't turn out looking so great when I wore them.  I finally understood that my ill fitting clothes came from my lack of understanding my body type. Knowing me body type helped me understand that like age, size is nothing but a number. Only the fit counts. Trying out before you purchase is your best bet at figuring out what works best for your shape. But if like me you love online shopping, I recommend getting measured by a professional. You have to remember, sizes vary with brands, some same size can be cut totally different. Therefore, understanding what bet suit you is crucial for finding flattering clothes.  To help you figure it out, check this chart made by igigi (which sell great stuff but a bit pricey) I think it really illustrates best the body shapes and what suits them best. You can thank me later ;)
Now, the next time you see Sexy Patate clearly in "clothing difficulties" send her the chart.
Until next time my fellow fatties, friends and readers (you too haters, I know y’all can’t help but secretly read). Stay fabulous! #teamsexypatate
