shopping and were discouraged because something did not fit you the way it fit the models in the magazines? I am going to let you in on a secret: I do photo shoots with models like the ones you see in magazines. The clothes did not fit them at first either. The fact is, they had someone who could make it to fit them exactly. Based on this fact, you may conclude that the right question is not whether your body is the "right body" for this garment. The right question is "Where is the tailor"?! Imagine if you knew the basics of altering a garment; how to take stuff in, let it out or do a hem. If you knew how to do these things you would never worry if a garment did not fit perfectly. "It'll fit when I get done with it!" you would think. No more temptation to loose 20 pounds in 3 days by starvation and other ungodly things that people do to themselves. You would be confident if you only learned to sew...
