This shape is all about balance, balance of the top and bottom and working the waistline.. Your goal is to bring the eyes focus to the areas of the body you are happy with and away from the parts that you are not.
Working with the bust first a good wrap top or frock flatters this part of you as the fabric is not just falling across the body it has a direction to go around the body. A vneck, is also good, especially in a cowl or with some details, i.e. the ruffle top in the range, it instantly compliments the busts.. Don't go for too bulky a fabric though you want more streamline fabrics, not voiles, but fabric that has a bit of body but not the bulk.. Cotton/spandex is so good for you, you should have a good relationship with this fabric as it will pull you and give you support where your body needs it. Hence that is why the rolldown pants, Grace pants and aline skirts all of which are made in cotton/spandex works for your shape.. Try and keep you bottoms plain and your tops detailed not too busy a print but if you are going to wear a print that is where I would place it...
Sleeves on your tops should be a little detailed with a slight puff or go for a 3/4 or fluted sleeve as this will make sure that the attention is on the vertical neckline. Try and avoid batwing as this will just bring way too much attention up top and not really show off your waist, and that is key gift on the way to your face..
A good little cardi or wrap will always work in your favour especially if you buy a really light fabric frock because you just had to have. So that will allow you to bend the rules a bit with the fabrics that you were near your face.. Pending on your colour palette, that is a whole new matter to take into account when you are restyling yourself..
When it comes to frocks what you want to do is elongate the waist line so something that lifts the boobs and maybe wraps around the waist to define it will be a winning frock for you..
Tees with puff sleeves and a boat neck is awesome for you, as the sleeve will focus on your neck which in itself will draw the eye up to your face.. That is the end goal, because when they reach that end that is when the chatting starts.. Crop jackets are awesome for you, or if it is a blazer make sure it is double buttoned so it gives the perception of a long waist.. a 3/4 sleeve is also good in the jacket as your wrists fall at your waistline and with some key bracelets or clasps that will help define your waist again..
Skirts that are good for you are pencil, above the knee or high waisted, just think that lovely red head in Mad Men.. She is all over the hourglass and never steps out of line of being awesome.. Cotton/spandex in this is going to do you more favours than any other fabric..
Cowl neck frocks and tops also do you justice, especially if you belt it and the fabric is of the right weight..
Dress your killer curves as you only have to define the waist and that is an easy thing to remember.. Don't go too short, but don't do too long either.. It doesn't have to be clingy but er on the side of being a closer fit than a looser.. Enjoy and have fun with this info. Remember we are all not black and white so just look at your shape and see if you may be different body types on top to your bottom..
