Body Shapes Explained – Figure 8 Shape

Body Shapes, makeupBy Imogen LamportApril 4, 200959 Comments

What is the difference between an 8 shape and an X shape?  Well they both have defined waists, and their hips and shoulders are both fairly proportioned, (though sometimes you can have an 8 shape that has narrower shoulders, more like the A shape, but their hips are a different shape to a traditional A/pear).…
