This is a beginning... I understand the concept of taking measurements and then comparing my proportions to that of the model, but then how does one know what silhouettes will best suit me? The last paragraph gives a hint...that an A-line skirt will help a waist appear narrower. OK, what about broad shoulders? hefty hips? I've-had-a-baby-belly-bulge? flat chest? How does one compensate? What fashion details will help?
