Morphology in 8: how to dress well?

13 JUNE 2019

Do you have a pronounced waist, aligned hips and shoulders and a luscious build? There's no doubt about it, you're an 8!

The figure 8 is very feminine and easy to enhance because it has no imbalance. You need to keep your shoulders and hips in line while emphasising your waist.

However, not all women embrace this shape, as it is a luscious silhouette, generally accompanied by large breasts and rounded hips. So you need to be able to show off your body to its best advantage, while still feeling comfortable.
