I know, it’s been a while. Things just get nuts around here sometimes! So, let’s move on to the V-frame, shall we?
V-frame people tend to have wider shoulders than hips. V-frame women in general are large-busted (think Dolly Parton or Pamela Anderson). I bet you can already guess what the recommendations are for this body type:
- Avoid shoulder pads, puffy sleeves, or anything similar.
- Choose pants with pleats and skirts that flare out at the waist.
- Avoid patterns on your tops, and choose patterned skirts and pants instead of plain ones.
- Wrap a scarf around your waist to widen the hip area.
- Sleeveless tops, tank tops and spaghetti straps work well for this body type.
- A jacket worn over an outfit can also hide the fact that your hips are narrower than your shoulders.
- Never wear long, dangly necklaces - these will only draw attention to your bustline.
- Avoid vests - these will make your waist look even smaller than it is.
Remember, the key is to create the illusion of equal proportions top to bottom.
That’s all I can think of right now. If you are a V-frame and have any tips for what works and doesn’t work for you, please share!

Can you be one shape when you’re overweight and another when you are not?

Missy - no, I don’t think so. I will address this in the next post.
