(no body shaming or fruit categories required…)
Start dressing for your body shape with care and confidence (and without the body shaming).
In Holly’s Guide to Dressing for Your Body Shape with Care and Confidence I’ll guide you through how to do that.
We’ll cover…
- what body shapes are really about (hint: it’s not actually about your body)
- distinguishing the shape of your body from the shape of your outfit
- how to combine outfit shapes together to build an outfit you LOVE regardless of your body shape
If you’ve ever wanted to know how to dress for your body shape, but didn’t resonate with being called an apple or a pear or a carrot. Or wondered (like I always did) what fruit is hourglass shaped?
If you’ve always wanted to know the why behind the what, and weren’t quite satisfied with “because it’s flattering…”.
If you want fast-acting tips to reach for when you’re rushing and substantial guidance to follow when you’re looking to dive deep…
Then this guide is for you.

This read is a true gem!
– Yakol Price
As someone who is unlearning toxic things around my body, it was so helpful in helping me embrace my body a lot more. I am an inverted triangle shape and was always taught that I needed more hips and a coke bottle shape.
My biggest takeaways were: Focus on the shape your clothes create, not the body underneath them. This helped me to feel better about my own body shape and to embrace it more when styling myself verses trying to alter my body shape.
My second takeaway was the visual style guide that shows how to combine and/or stack style shapes for more style options. After reading this book I have a better understanding of how to embrace my natural body shape and how to play around with style shapes for maximum benefit and I understand that it’s ok to break the rules with style as long as it works for me.

Put care into action with clear styling tactics…
This book is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
– Naomi Dunford
I’ve struggled with my body shape all my life—not because it’s “bad”, but because it’s unusual. That difference has always felt isolating, leaving me overwhelmed by advice about apples, triangles, hemlines, waistlines – none of which ever really worked. The result? I’ve dressed fine, but boring. Safe. I look like a mom. A reasonably attractive mom if I put in a bit of effort.
Holly’s book cleaned up the whole mess for me. She offers a fresh perspective that makes me see shape in a whole new way. I’ve stopped blaming and shaming myself. For the first time, I feel empowered. I feel a little excited. Clothes might actually be fun again. Holly’s way of explaining things is transformative—I wish I could take her shopping with me or have her dress me every morning. Since I can’t, this book is the next best thing.
Thank you, Holly, for opening a door I thought was forever closed to me.
