Do you ever feel like something is a bit ‘off’ with your outfit?
Even when you’re wearing the right colours, it can still happen – because colour is only part of the puzzle.
How clothes sit on your body, what they highlight, and whether they create balance all play a part too. Which is where understanding your body shape comes in – it’s often the missing piece.
For some, it’s the next step after a colour analysis. For others, it’s the best place to start – especially if you’ve been struggling with the fit or feel of your clothes.
What is a body shape workshop?
Much like my mini colour analysis workshops, my body shape workshops are relaxed, small group sessions designed as a taster of my in-depth style and shape consultations.
They’re practical, friendly, and focused on helping you understand how clothes work with your shape, not against it.
You’ll learn how to identify your body shape and start to see how different clothing choices can create balance, shape and confidence in your outfits.
What people say
One of last year’s attendees, Ruan (The Yorkshire Sew Girl), described the workshop as:
2 hours of awesomeness! I really, really enjoyed that.
She also shared how fascinating and eye-opening she found the session.
Despite feeling slightly nervous about attending on her own, she quickly realised there was no need. Many people do come along solo, while others bring a friend, and both work equally well.
Ruan shared her full experience in a YouTube vlog after attending the workshop. You can watch her video on her channel, with the workshop section starting from 12:25 here.
What to expect on the day
The workshops take place in a small group setting (limited to 8 people), which keeps things relaxed and interactive. We’ll explore the different body shapes and how clothing can be used to create balance and flatter your silhouette.
Each person will discover their shape and come away with a clearer understanding of their own shape and what works best.
Ruan, for example, discovered she had a rectangle body shape and came away with practical ideas to enhance her silhouette. As someone who sews, she was interested in how this knowledge would influence her choice of patterns and fabrics – something many people struggle with when fit doesn’t feel quite right.
You don’t need to sew to benefit from the workshop, but it’s a great example of how understanding your shape can make decision-making much easier.
Workshop details
I’ve got two body shape taster workshops coming up at Rivers Meet Café near Leeds this year. It’s the same venue I use for my colour analysis taster sessions.
They’re friendly, relaxed afternoons and include handouts, refreshments and cake.
You’re very welcome to come on your own or with a friend.
