Body Type

                                                                     HELP WANTED

As I sit here looking at patterns I'm wondering what my body type is, and what clothes does my body justice! I could not answer that. "SAD" That is my problem; I'm sewing items that does not showcase my shape well.... I'm in true need of Fashion Help.... or a Sewing Counselor ;-)  Any one up for the position? The job does not pay well... lol but at least your doing a Good Deed...
