You are a gorgeous Oval!

Stylized black and white illustration of a woman with short hair, wearing a strapless dress and high heels.

The oval body shape is characterized by a fuller midsection, with a less defined waist, and narrower shoulders and hips. This body type often carries weight around the belly area, resulting in a rounded silhouette. To create a balanced look, the key is to elongate the torso and define the waist while drawing attention to the upper body and legs.

Let’s get into the details…
