"Hello, my name is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting in Miami, Florida. Basically, there's four types of body shapes that I'm going to talk about. But the ones that I'm going to concentrate on this clip are the hour glass and the rectangle type of body frame. So basically the hour glass is a type of body that has the shoulders and the hips are the same type of measurements, the same size and then you have a define waist. The rectangle type of body shape is the one that it's just basically a rectangle where you cannot very much distinguish a waist and of course, the same measurements that you have on the shoulders are the ones that you have on your hip. So if you are an hour glass, you should try very like comfortable type of fabrics. Things that flow around the curves of your body because there's basically nothing that you want to hide. You always want to show that you have a define waist and just, you know, skins around the body. And if you have a rectangle type of body, you should wear things that are kind of crop because that way you will kind of give the illusion that you have a waist and you should also wear things that are just the same figure as you, like this type of boxy dress that it's rectangle so that way it does not look bad. And oh, and this type of like flowy dresses that have like a waist, it will show you a type of waist, if you don't have one. So once again this is Gabby Garzon at G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting."
