Cello / Square body shape
Full feminine Body type, characterized by full and boarder chest and hips. The Cello shape have narrow and highlighted waist, and the rectangle structure almost have no waist.

General instructions
Emphasize the waist:
Because the cello body type is characterized by wider shoulders and hips, and sometimes an unaccented waist, it is essential to emphasize the waist area to emphasize the hourglass figure.
Prefer clothing styles that come close to the waist or create the illusion of a defined waistline, such as wrap dresses or clothing with accentuated waistlines.
Compliment the chest and hips:
With wider shoulders and hips, it is important to choose clothes that balance these proportions. Deep V necklines and A-line silhouettes can draw attention to the bust while elongating the body. Also, skirts and pants should float gently on the hips without adding unnecessary volume.
Narrow structure:
Choose fabrics with a more rigid structure and tailored cuts to provide structure to the body.
Avoid excess volume:
While it is essential to emphasize the curves, avoid adding too much volume to areas such as the chest or hips. Avoid overly embellished or bulky clothing that can overwhelm the frame and obscure the natural shape of the body.

Adele
On the right - a tailored and classic evening dress. tight in the upper part, and expands with the lines of the body from the pelvis to the floor. A thick waist belt creates the waist line and emphasizes the narrow part. The clean and classic look of the dress combined with its length creates a narrower and slimmer look.
On the left - a maxi dress with liquid and spilled fabric, a lot of excess fabric and the use of flounces that further expand and enlarge all the already wide areas. Although the look is very much that of a diva, there is no doubt that Adele looks wider here than she was in reality.
Oprah Winfrey
On the right - a twill shirt without a defined shape in a relatively fluid fabric and with bat sleeves, expanding the entire chest area. Does not create the separation between the chest, shoulders and hands and creates a uniform, square and unflattering look.
Straight and strange maxi skirt. The elastic at the waist is not flattering and does not help to emphasize the narrow waist, the skirt has a straight cut to the floor and is made of stiff, standing fabric, it looks like a tent or a curtain on it, it is very bulky and creates a wide and square look.
On the left - a dress in a men's cut, tailored, close at the waist and chest and widening in the pelvic area to the floor. The hard fabric in combination with the tailored cut helps to "package" the body in a correct and flattering way, the open collar with a hoi neckline flatters a large chest and divides it nicely.
