body, your proportions are different than the generic patterns used to make most ready-to-wear clothing.\u00a0You may have bigger arms, shoulders, bottom and thighs or have smaller waist and hips than the typical pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Off the rack clothing may be tight in the arms, shoulders, bottom or thighs. Or they may be too loose in the waist or hips.<\/p>\n<p>The key to dressing this body type is getting a good fit. You\u2019ll probably need a custom fit to get clothes to look great on you.\u00a0If you\u2019re buying clothing off the rack, choose clothing that fits the largest muscular areas of your body, and have the rest of the garment altered by a tailor to fit you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_0791-e1338436877413.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1114\" title=\"Paige - before thick waist\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_0791-e1338436877413-103x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"103\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_0791-e1338436877413-103x300.jpg 103w, https:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_0791-e1338436877413-352x1024.jpg 352w, https:\/\/www.sarahshah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_0791-e1338436877413.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 103px) 100vw, 103px\" \/><\/a>Our model Paige has a swimmer\u2019s body, with broad shoulder and muscular arms and back.
