A note from Lisa
These are the words Lisa opens the guide with.
“Your body is never the problem, but the clothes you wear aren’t always the right ones.”
“This isn’t about comparing body shapes or trying to ‘be’ a different silhouette.”
“The idea is to accept your strengths and play them up the way you want to.”
With all my heart and passion, Lisa
Inside the guide · 78 pages
Eight of the 78 pages: the cover, Lisa’s note, a chapter opener, and a clothing page for each of the five body shapes.
The body shapes
Dressing for your body shape starts with the right chapter. Each one opens with Lisa’s description of the shape, then goes through your clothes, category by category.
How Lisa describes it“Strong and dynamic, with defined shoulders and an elegant upper body.”
What she advisesBalance the silhouette. Draw the eye downward, add volume or details at the hips and legs, and soften the shoulder line without adding volume on top.
Pages 3 to 17
How Lisa describes it“Slender and dynamic, with a fluid, adaptable silhouette.”
What she advisesCreate shape and curves. For example, define the waist or add strategic volume on top or at the bottom, to give the illusion of harmonious curves.
Pages 18 to 32
How Lisa describes it“All about balance and harmonious curves.”
What she advisesShow off your natural curves, accentuate the waist and keep shoulders and hips in balance.
Pages 33 to 47
How Lisa describes it“Generous and full of life, with a naturally full bust.”
What she advisesDraw the eye downward and lengthen the silhouette. Show off the legs and the neckline, and choose flowing clothes that flatter your body without squeezing the tummy.
Pages 48 to 62
How Lisa describes it“A very feminine silhouette, since your hips are already naturally highlighted.”
What she advisesFlatter the upper body and define the waist. Don’t add volume at the hips.
Pages 63 to 77
What’s in the guide
You open the chapter for your body shape and pick the clothing category you’re shopping for: one page, photo examples and Lisa’s notes.
The chapter opener, Lisa’s general advice, then one page for each clothing category.
Five examples per category (two for shorts, sweaters and belts), each with the name of its cut.
Next to the photos, she says in a few words what the cut does for your silhouette.
In the red frame, the one to leave aside, with the reason.
Who it’s for
Lisa doesn’t ask you to fit into a box: the guide gives you reference points, and you decide.
Lisa’s general advice sets the goal: create balance between the upper body and the lower body, set off by the waist.
Jeans, dresses, jackets, coats and more. One page per category, with the cuts to wear and the one to avoid.
“Wear clothes you feel good in, even if they don’t always follow these recommendations.”

FAQ
The guide has no page for finding your body shape: it assumes you know which of the five is yours (inverted triangle, rectangle, hourglass, apple or pear). Each chapter opens with Lisa’s description of the shape, and all five chapters are in the same PDF, so you can read the ones that sound like you. And Lisa’s point stands: how you feel matters more than any recommendation.
5 chapters, one per body shape (inverted triangle, rectangle, hourglass, apple, pear). Each one has an opener page, Lisa’s general advice, then 13 clothing categories (sleeves, dresses, jackets, skirts, tops, necklines, jeans, pants, coats, jumpsuits, shorts, sweaters, belts), one page each. Every example comes with a photo, and every clothing page has a cut to avoid. 78 pages in all.
By email, as a PDF, after you check out.
It’s a 78-page PDF with A5-size pages (about 5.8 × 8.3 inches), easy to read on a phone. You can print it at home too.
There’s no single answer: it depends on your body shape and on what you like to wear. The guide gives you Lisa’s reference points for each of the five shapes, with cuts to wear and one to avoid in every clothing category. Her general idea is to create balance between the upper body and the lower body, set off by the waist. And she adds that what matters most is how you feel: wear clothes you feel good in, even if they don’t always follow the recommendations.
It’s an ebook in PDF format: you keep it on your phone or your computer. It’s sold as a PDF only, with no printed copy.
The guides by sub-season are about color: your palette, your capsule wardrobe, your makeup. The body shape guide is about cuts: which shapes of clothes bring out your silhouette. The two go together.
No. The guide gives reference points for each of the five body shapes, not an analysis of your own silhouette. And Lisa says it herself: wear clothes you feel good in, even if they don’t follow these recommendations.
78 pages, 5 body shapes, 13 clothing categories. The PDF arrives by email after checkout.
