How to Dress According to Your BODY TYPE βœ¨πŸ’–

...Ever had trouble with clothes not looking flattering?Β 


It IS very tempting to buy cute clothes, but sometimes it’s tough to find the right size or cutting.

Before that, just a key reminder from me: All bodies are BEAUTIFUL. Buy the right clothes, because you are not meant to fit the clothes, the clothes are meant to fit you. πŸ’•


Get to know your body type and find clothes on https://refash.sg that fit you like a glove!

(With clothes that are not serving you anymore, donate it or sell it and get clothes that bring out the best in you. 😊 Looking for a place to sell your clothes? Try https://refash.sg/pages/how-to-sell)
