In their brilliant book, The Body Shape Bible, they have identified 12 body shapes - not just the classic Pear, Apple and Hourglass - which they say are the real key to looking great. scroll down to find where u fall into'

1. THE HOURGLASS: As an hourglass you will have -
Big breasts, (same size as hips)
Small waist,
Short waist,
Average/Long legs.
Big Hips, (same size as breasts)
Generous thighs,
Average/Broad shoulders.
What really defines an hourglass is her tiny waist

KEY SHAPES:the cornerstones of an hourglass wardrobe are v-neck fitted cardigans and pencil skirts. choose shoes with rounded or peeptoes
