I emphasize that every body is unique and beautiful and that you don’t need to lose weight or change yourself in order to feel better about your style. However, knowing your body shape helps you choose clothes that look better on you. Female body shape is based mostly on genetics and your skeletal structure. While you can adjust your body shape a bit with exercise and hormone levels, for the most part, it is pre-defined by your skeletal structure and your predisposed fat and muscle distribution. So work WITH your body shape instead of against it.
