For the rest of you, Moreland offered the following tips for dressing five classic body shapes -- in her own words:

Personally, this is my favorite shape. The absolute key to dressing for the hourglass is accentuating the waist. Whether it be belted pants or form-fitting sheath dresses, someone with an hourglass shape will want to flaunt her curves. Someone who is curvy would probably also want to shy away from dresses that are too short. Being voluptuous is sexy, so combining form-fitting clothes, with revealing hemlines and plunging necklines can be a one-way ticket for hoochie mama city. Sweaters, v-necks, pencil skirts and belts -- these are all items that a curvy woman should have in her closet.

This shape is the opposite of a pear -- heavy on top and small on bottom. Women with this body shape usually have strong shoulders and small hips. So to balance you out, it is advisable to stay away from things that add bulk to the shoulders -- things like shoulder pads, puff sleeves and boat necks should be avoided. To beef up your bottom half, try skirts that flare. A-line or other skirts or pants with some volume are good. Stay away from too-slim jeans and pencil skirts.
