Are You Wearing Clothing and Bras that Fit Your Body Type?

Are you dressing for your body type and shape? Do you like the latest fashion trends but don't know if they will look "right" on you? Tired of buying clothes that look good on the rack but don't look as great when you put them on? Do you return a lot of clothes you buy online because you can't try them on to see if they fit?

The latest in "personal shopping" on the web, are sites that help you create an online profile to find the best fitting and most flattering clothing for your body type-at no additional charge! While online retailers such as Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, etc. allow you to narrow some shopping selections by general body type, these two companies are taking customized clothing to the next level.

MyShape.com

MyShape offers online personalized fitting and recommends styles and brands to purchase that flatter your shape, match your measurements and reflect your style and fit preferences. MyShape goes beyond the classic body types (pear, apple, triangle, etc.) and breaks them down even further to help you pinpoint your exact body type and then select clothes that really fit. According to the company, MyShape "offers each woman a relevant selection and a highly personalized shopping experience where every style fits and flatters."

You enter all of your body measurements (and I do mean ALL-about 30 measurements). It is a long process and you must measure accurately, but it is worth it. Based on your measurements, MyShape then determines which one of seven body shapes (M, Y, S, H, A, P, or E) you are. You can then shop by your body shape, finding clothing that MyShape has identified as flattering your shape.

MyShape offers thousands of styles from dresses to pants, tops, skirts and more than 130 brands and including Tadashi, Nicole Miller, Sanctuary, Sweet Pea, Muse, Lilly Pullitzer, and more.
