Makeover Games and Weird Body Types


Not everyone has a great body to dress during makeover games. Despite with magazines, fashion shows and even fashion websites might have us think, we’re definitely not all built the same way and understanding that is the first step to figuring out the best way to flatter your own figure without detracting from your overall fashion sense and style. For example, there are relatively few people who can wear short skirts and look perfectly comfortable and natural in them. If you have short legs, for example, the short skirt isn’t a good choice. Likewise if you have a wide backside or broad hips – the skirt will be wider than it is short, and that’s unflattering.

If you have a body type that doesn’t fit the mold, you’ll have a bit more trouble finding clothing for your makeover games, but that doesn’t mean you should give up. Take your body shopping and try things on. Just look at how clothing fits you and then identify the aspects that are most flattering. In general, those features will be things like clothing that skims the body rather than clinging to it or draping over it. You might also have to delve into accessories to complete your new look as well, but that, at least, will be plenty of fun.
