What is the best way to dress for my body shape?

Asked by hummingbug3 (196points) July 29th, 2013

I’m asking here because I feel like a lot of online sources are telling me incorrectly by not taking into consideration that people look different from the side than they do the front. In all technicalities I’m an hourglass (as defined by calculators); my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 35, 26, 35 respectively. Problem is, my waist doesn’t nip in at all from the front. There is no taper down to it either. I’m pretty much straight up and down with no curves but from the side it’s like boom! lol from the side you can see I have a tiny butt (not much but at least it isn’t flat!) as well as boobs that stick out, giving me a more curvy and somewhat “s” shape from the side. Any ways to dress better? It seemed like other women online had the opposite issue that I had. Many seem to have an hourglass figure from the front but be completely straight or apple shaped from the side.
