Straight

Straight body shape 

(sometimes called rectangle or ruler)


The hips and bust are balanced and the waist is not very defined.

  • The key to dressing/designing for a Straight body type is to proportionally dress the top and bottom of the body while enhancing the waist. 
  • If consumer is comfortable doing so, she can wear form fitting clothing (such as a tube-type dress) and create a waist by adding a wide, dark belt. 
  • However, to create a more curvaceous effect add volume (or the illusion of volume) proportionally to the upper and lower body.
