Hi, I'm Niki, and I help women enjoy getting dressed again!

I’m an online personal stylist, and for the past 20 years, I’ve helped women across the USA and UK build wardrobes they feel excited to wear (you can read more about me and who I typically work with here).

I know you think you have a difficult shape (you don't!) and that you can't find any clothes that work for you or make you feel good. But the problem isn't you (or your shape); it’s just that, right now, you don't have the skills or knowledge to shop for clothes that work for you or to put outfits together that you like. But I do!

Getting dressed really can be easy and enjoyable, and I can help you build a closet that does that for you!

Body Shape Quiz FAQs

Can I have more than one body shape?

Yes, in fact, most women do!  The four well-established body shapes (hourglass, column, pear, and apple) describe fairly general attributes, but they don’t account for individual characteristics. That’s why many women don’t slot neatly into just one category.

In most cases, your shape is a blend of two: a primary shape (the one you align with most closely) and a secondary shape (the one you overlap with slightly).

This quiz is designed to recognise blended shapes, rather than forcing you into a single label.

Why have other body shape quizzes felt confusing or inaccurate?

Many quizzes rely on rigid categories, very general questions, or a small number of measurements. That can work if your shape is a textbook example...but if it isn’t, you’re often left with more questions than answers.

It’s also common to approach a quiz with preconceived ideas about your body, or to view your shape a little unkindly (we all do this). This quiz uses many more nuanced questions to better reflect how real bodies are proportioned, helping you answer more accurately.

 What if my result doesn’t feel quite right?

This is a great question! You’re welcome to take the quiz more than once, especially if you want to reconsider a few answers; small changes can sometimes clarify the result.

If it still doesn’t feel like a perfect fit, that doesn’t mean the result is wrong. Body shape guidance works best when it’s used as a starting point, alongside an understanding of how different clothing shapes sit on your body and respond to your proportions.

Knowing your body shape can be reassuring and helpful, but developing awareness of your unique characteristics, preferences, and fit needs is what really makes getting dressed easier.

Over time, the label itself becomes less important. As you get more familiar with what fits and flatters you, you’ll naturally gravitate towards what works — and putting outfits together will start to feel simpler and more enjoyable.

Do I get styling advice with my result?

You’ll receive your body shape result immediately. After that, you’ll have the option to sign up for my free, shape-specific tips and clothing picks for the current season.

Is this body shape quiz free?

Yes, the quiz is completely free to take.

What if I feel like I’m between two body shapes (for example, pear and hourglass)?

This is very common! I’ve been styling women for nearly 20 years, and more often than not, clients have characteristics of more than one body shape. Typically, this shows up as a primary shape with secondary influences.

For example, you might mostly align with a Pear shape, but when all of your proportions, characteristics, and frustrations are considered, your true shape could be Pear with secondary Hourglass or Column qualities.

This quiz is designed to recognise those overlaps, rather than forcing you into a single label.

I'm thrilled with this experience!
