Perfect party dresses for your body shape
If you've ever ever felt that you're not curvy enough to be an hourglass but aren't exactly stick-thin either, you're not alone.
A new fashion website, www.joyofclothes.com, has identified seven shapes to describe every body type, including the inverted triangle (broad shoulders and small hips) and the rectangle for those halfway between hourglass and lean column.
The site then matches clothes to your shape, meaning you'll never buy unflattering styles again. In theory.
