The material is fabulous. The style is on point. It’s everything you were searching for, but when you try it on, it just doesn’t fit right, and ultimately, isn’t what you imagined.
What could possibly be wrong? After all, it’s the perfect outfit, but as you struggle in frustration to adjust, arrange, and offer up prayers, it’s just not going to look good because it’s the wrong garment for your body. Sound familiar? And
in the moment, you may be quick to criticize your taste in fashion or your weight, but neither is to blame because it’s not about size, it’s about body type.
