In the final installment of "My Body, My Style" featuring Zhaleh, our wonderfully tall and full figured model, stylist Sam Saboura readies her for a night out on the town.

Zhaleh says that when she goes out, she is likes to dance so constricting clothing is a no-no. Saboura's solution? A great pair of ruched leggings, a colorful day dress, and a cute cropped faux-leather jacket.

Helpful tip: The pattern on the dress is big and beautiful. Saboura says that, "if you're tall or full figured prints and patterns should always be in line with the size of your frame." From there it was a matter of creating balance on the body with layers and strategically-placed accessories.

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.

This outfit is in one word....wrong. Why would anyone who is plus sized...listen to a skinny, petite man? Number one, stop trying to cover us up! That might be what you want to do...drape us in fabric to try and hide what you don't wanna see. It's not flattering! It's July. You have this big woman in a fake leather jacket....black leggings...spiked heels...and a shirt that is really a dress. It's hot! People sweat! So what you really have here is a pretty girl who is being made to cover up...and it only makes her look bigger. Get real.
