Do you have trouble deciding what to wear to the office? Don't be shy, every woman does!

In this episode of "My Body, My Style" fashion expert extraordinaire Sam Saboura teaches a personal trainer how to go from the weight room to the board room. Robin, who has a long torso and short legs, ends up looking glamazon gorgeous with the help of one leg-lengthening frock.

And no, it's not part of the uber-short mini-dress trend. All Robin needed to do was raise her waistline with a strategically-placed belt to elongate her form.

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.
