How can I dress for my body shape? I am 5’3″ and 98 lbs. My body is slim & fairly healthy but my spine curves inward & I have a naturally large rear, my waist is very slim. Whatever I wear balloons out when it reaches my hips & hides the rest of my torso – so I always end up looking a lot chunkier than I am.
You sound very tiny. From your body shape description I am not sure what your body type is however it may be a triangle shape, narrower on the top than on the bottom. Draw attention away from your hip area if you do not want to call attention there. Printed tops with short sleeves and solid color skirts or pants will do the trick. Look for trims on necklines or any details on clothing that draws attention upwards. Other tricks to try are wearing a piece of statement jewelry, an up-to-date hairstyle and / or flattering makeup. Have your spine checked out by a physician since you think it curves inward.
