By category, I mean those styles that look best for all the different kind of body shapes. I believe that dressing to enhance your body shape is so important and makes all the difference in how spectacular you look and feel, because when you look fabulous you feel fabulous. I look forward to hearing how these items work for you or simply if you have any questions for me. Until then….try these on for size. 

THE PEAR- Gentle pintucks form a front placket and slim your waist and tummy area when you choose our Kalista Dress, a perfect choice for those who are pear shapes. Plus, the beautiful color combination at play is sure to make you look and feel chic, cool, and comfortable.
Also perfect for pear shapes is our new Annie Blouse.  With ribboned striping detail in from the shoulder, shirring, and a beautiful v-neck your shoulders will be sure to look in balance with your hips, which is what Pears aim for.

THE KITE- The New Blue Embroidered Tunic is modern and chic with a dash of bohemian zeal and simply stunning with all its exquisite embroidery detail. Everyone would look exquisite in this tunic and it is especially flattering for you Kite shapes out there as the embroidery around the neck works to bring the focus in and off the shoulders, while the bottom detail draws the eye down. Everything you want all in one garment, whatever your shape.

THE RULER - The New Iris Dress is my all time favorite of the season because I love its water-colored lusciousness. The ancient allure and craftsmanship of batik is shown here at its finest, and is simply stunning. It is especially suited to those who are ruler shapes as this shape looks their very best in structured garments that help create or enhance the waistline. The empire waist with detailing does this in a fashionable and effortless way.

THE APPLE – The New Frida Blouse offers easy construction and style that lends itself perfectly to an Apple shape. The soft billowing lavender leaves of this cool summer blouse are soothing and create a wonderful watery batik effect. An apple shape looks best in designs that avoid bringing attention to the waist area. Its square edged neckline draws the eye upward, and the unstructured body floats gracefully away from the mid section. Straight silhouetted dresses are also great for the Apple shape, so be sure to try our new Luna Dress as it is also perfect for the Apple in every way.

THE HOURGLASS - The New Valerie Dress offers a simple structured look that lends itself to an abundance of multi-faceted styling options. Dress it up for a day at the office or dress it down for an evening of summer fun. Hourglass shapes are sure to fall in love at first sight with the Valerie Dress because it really offers all they need in one chic garment: inverted v-shaped empire seaming to accentuating the waist (key to giving the Hourglass its shape), a V-neck to add visual length to the neck area, and a straight silhouette to keep the bottom portion of the body in balance with the top.

The New Iridescent Necklace is a stunner! Shell is hot hot hot this summer and pearls always add sophistication and grace to whatever you wear. The geometric design lends a flattering visual contrast to any neckline; v-necks, scoop necks, and square necks alike will all be gorgeously accentuated. Plus, genuine freshwater coin pearls for under $30! Its crazy…and its all for YOU and of course, only at MIB!
