Dressing for your body part 7: Spoon Shape

This is the part 7 of the “dressing for your body” series. The spoon shape is characterized by hips larger than the bust, but with a defined waist; hips have a shelf appearance and body is prone to gaining weight in the tummy, while wait may be gained in the upper thighs and arms, the lower legs and arms are shapely and the best assets.

The key to dressing this shape is to draw attention to the upper body and de-emphasizing the tummy and hips to create a more balanced appearance and illusion of an hourglass figure.
