Body Frame Size

Body Frame Size — The Girls

Body Frame Size is the fifth and final Body Element. Like Body Proportions few if any women understand its significance in regards to determining what design lines enhance their natural beauty.

I determined the significance of this Body Element by listening to several stylists evaluating various women’s bodies for design lines. However, I don’t think they understood the patterns they were talking about. When I applied the clue my Body Frame Size gave me, I was amazed with my results.

Body Frame Size looks at the width of your bone structure. Women talk about if they have a small, medium or large bone structure. Your bone structure is the basis for the design line clue that Body Frame Size will give you.
