The Fit Fix: Dress Your Shape After 40

If clothes fit in one place and pull, gap or swallow you in another, this printable guide shows what to try first for your shape. Measure yourself at home in ten minutes, then use a simple find-your-shape page to land on one of five shape pages: apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle or inverted triangle. Three more pages cover petite, midsize and a changing midsection, because most of us are a mix. Every shape page lists what to try first, how to balance proportion, which necklines, rises and lengths to look for, what to go gently with, and the one sentence to tell the tailor. You also get quick-reference tables for trousers, jeans, skirts, tops, dresses and jackets, eight starter outfits, a fabric and layering guide for days that swing from warm to cool (comfort only, not health advice), a what-to-tell-the-tailor page with request cards, a try-on checklist and log, one-page cheat sheet, cut-out shopping cards, an online orders and returns tracker, a closet fit check and a 2-week plan. The contents page links to every section for tablet use. 30 pages in US Letter, A4 and low-ink versions. Style ideas, not rules: wear what feels like you.
