Body Shapes

What are the key body shapes?

As specialist fashion designers at number 35, we see many women on a daily basis who have trouble finding clothes that fit well. In the past, many have ‘just made do’ with their clothing. At number 35 we start with advising on how to identify the garments that will match your body shape perfectly. Badly styled and fitted clothing in the ‘throw away’ fashion category can now be a thing of the past.
