'My Body, My Style' Video: Have a High Waist? Here's a New Casual Outfit

Women with high waists who want to dress for their shape can breathe a sigh of relief, stylist Sam Saboura is on the case!

In this episode of "My Body, My Style" Saboura helps Ashley to find a casual outfit that is reflective of her young 25-year-old self.

Ashley, who has a high waist but great curves, has trouble showing off figure. (Note to self: boxy or baggy tops are not complimentary if you have a short torso.) Using clothing as a "correction tool," Saboura put her in an ensemble that has layers and elongated her tall frame by creating balance and proportion.

Whether you're pear shaped, have a long torso, or are full-figured, you won't want to miss the rest of our tips for finding the best clothes for your shape, in the "My Body, My Style" series.

Why isn't the whole video playing? I really like the tank top she is wearing with the asymitrical ruffles even though I think I might make her look wider.
