It usually takes surgery, iron will and determination to have a Balcony shape and it is quickly becoming a must-have body shape thanks to the famous celebrities.

Here are the DOs and the DONTs for the Balcony shaped woman:

DOs

  1. Be prepared to sacrifice the tasty desserts and that piece of chocolate cake.
  2. Wear sunnies as often as you can. They will draw attention away from your breasts.
  3. Go for bias-cut dresses to show off the fullness of your breast and your narrow hips.
  4. Fuller skirts and wide leg trousers will balance out the shape beautifully.

I have previously written about the different female body shapes some years. It was actually one of the first blog posts I wrote in 2012 when I first started blogging, check it out here. It is an Oldie but a Goldie, it was well received and is still one of the most popular posts on the blog so I decided to write a series of more detailed posts about the different female body shapes.

Today it is all about The Ballerina body shape. This shape is desirable for ballad and it is also meant for fashion, it consists of a tiny waist, small bust, defined toned body, narrow hips and endless legs. Twiggy, Nicole Kidman and Audrey Hepburn are some of the famous ballerina shaped women. Some fashion models also have this shape.

The ballerina shaped woman has the tendency to look boyish so The Fashion Tip is to go for feminine pieces like an A line skirt, a full skirt and similar pieces.

When it comes to any body shape, the idea is to highlight the positives and delete the negatives. Here are the DOs and DONTs for the ballerina shaped woman:

DOs

  1. Play up your body shape with solid colours like black and white.
  2. Wear full skirts and big bold belts to draw attention to your tiny waist.
  3. Opt for outfits that show off your graceful neck.
  4. Opt for feminine pieces like dresses, skirts and so on.

DONTs

  1. Avoid maxi skirts and dresses, they do nothing for your silhouette.
  2. Avoid tight bodycon dresses. You don’t have the curves to fill them.
  3. Avoid clothes with large print, they have the power to drown out your elegant features.

Those are the fashion tips for the ballerina shaped woman. Are you a ballerina shaped woman? Do you have any tips to share? Sound off in the comment section. Thanks for reading and have a fantastic Friday.

The Yin and Yang Of My Personal Style (Spring 2015 Series)

I have written about the yin and yang of my personal style, winter series, here and here. For this spring 2015 series, I sharing some of my styling tips. Here they are:

Accessorize in brights

If you have a closet filled with neutral or dark pieces, you can add some colour and energy to your look by accessorizing with bright accessories like sunnies, belts, coats, shoes, watches, scarves, hats, necklaces and so on.

Show skin tastefully

Do not show your legs and cleavage at the same time. Show some skin strategically by choosing one body part to show skin and keeping the rest under wraps.

Embrace your shape

Go for outfits that suit and flatter your body shape.For example, if you are an Apple shaped woman, you can aim to show off your slim legs, and disguise your large tummy area, you can choose skirts with a  fuller shape to skim over tummy, you can opt for wide legged trousers to create better balance between your upper and lower half, and show off those slim ankles with no detail on the hip area.

Pair loose with tight

Only few people can pull off head-to-toe baggy. So team your billowing pieces with a body conscious piece like a skinny jeans, jeggings, tights and so on.
