Ask Allie: Flatter the Figure or Flatter the Soul?

Allie, I am built similar to you but with wider hips. Short, thick, extremely curvy. I look best in wrap dresses and clothing with a vintage lean, but I don’t feel my best. I wish I had a figure that matched my soul, a soul who feels at home in my denim jacket with leather…
