Ever notice that basically each person has unique body shape?

Last year, I attended a wokshop which had a them on “Image Personality”. It is a 3 hours workshop. From there I learned that basically human (in this case FEMALE) has 4 types of body shape. I guess some of you might have known it, some only had half understanding about it. But just wanna share in case some of you don’t even ever heard about that.

Well, I try to gather some information and my main source is from Wikipedia. Mmm, though not complete enough as what I want to write it down here, but I guess it’s enough to explain about the 4 types of female body shape.

There are three big points on female body that we firstly have to pay attention of. The three points are:

• Chest, which is measured across the fullest part of the bust
• Waist, which is usually measured at the smallest circumference of the abdomen
• Hips, which is usually measured at the largest circumference of the hips and buttocks

Now from there we can learn to differ the 4 body shape that I mentioned earlier. Basically, from the workshop I attended that day, the instructor explained it very simple how to see what kind of body shape you have.

Well..well..well…actually….just straight to the point what is that!?? Ok..ok..hang on there, here you go!

There are 4 types of female body shape, which are:

• Apple (Triangle downward)

Simply say, people with apple/triangle shape, normally they are looked heavy on top. Their shoulder is wider than their hip. Normally if they gain weight, obviously can be seen firstly on the shoulder and arm parts.

• Banana or Straight

The name of the shape tell it all. Straight! Between shoulder, waist and hip, are all aligned well. If you use a long ruler and stand it along the side of your shoulder down to your hip, you will find that the ruler is stand straight. In another words, the shoulder is same wide as hip and vice versa.

• Pear or Spoon or Bell (Triangle upward)

Simply say again, this is opposite of apple shape. Pear/spoon shape normally looks heavy on bottom because they have wider hip than shoulder.

• Hourglass shape

Well, people says that women with hourglass shape is what men crazy for! Cause women with hourglass shape has wide shoulder and hip, meanwhile they have small waist. Guitar shape. Or can be said this way. They have body shape which is big on part where it supposed to be big and small on part which is supposed to be small. Balance. Beautiful. Ideal body shape. I totally agree that this body shape is great. At least it is balance on top and bottom. Hahaha..But I found that women with this body shape also must be very careful. Cause once they gain weight, all the fat will not only shown on one of the parts of their body, but it can be seen on the shoulder and their hip as well. =)

For me, all type of body shape has its plus and minus. The most important thing is we know how to expose the plus side of our body shape and decrease the exposure of the weakness from our body shape. One of the solution is by the way how we choose our clothing. We will discuss about this topic on our next article. For now, it’s better to have better understanding first on which type of body shape we have. As I shared earlier, you may use big ruler or long stick to help you for it. So..try it out, gals! Have fun!
Any comment or any tips, you may share with us!

Fiuh! It’s been hard and full of excitement! Anxiety! and also guilty! huhuhu…but finally all had ended yesterday! Thanks..thanks…^^

Mmmmm…..

What’s the happening here by the way??

Let’s see…finally we had sent out all goods ” CY” & “CYA” to customers yesterday!! Gosh…we don’t know how to express how…how..how…good and glad was our feeling! It’s really a big lesson for us to be more careful with our suppliers regarding the delivery time. On this matter, because of Christmas and Chinese New Year Holiday, never crossed in our mind that it could caused such BIG..BIG DELAY! But! not much to say…we just wanna thanks to all our customer which had been very patient to wait. You all sure will get rewards for that! (right?? ^^)

We also wanna beg a BIG..BIG ..apologize for being so late, we knew that sometimes compesation would not be enough to compesate the loss that our customers might had.  Once again, we are sorry and thankful at the same time to all our customers. ^^

Fiuh, it’s year 2009! Time flies pretty fast! Must admit it.
This is our first post….Reminisce the past years…what we have been through…

By today, [Jocy-Abby] has been running for almost six months.  Our first online business. Started from selling via blogspot on August 2008….with mission to do something we love in our spare time…but gradually became something that consumed our time most! Haha..tired though…Earn not much, but had to face many comments and complains from customers. Sometimes felt that it’s tougher that my main job!  Nevertheless, being complained and scolded by impatient customers, problems with the shipping…especially shipping to indonesia…delay..and delay….which caused my heart beating faster, jumping up and down. Imagining how anxious customers would be because of the delay….wow…cool! Not yet, problems from suppliers’ side that we have to handle. Aaarrrggghhhh……why things just not went smooth?! :(  Huhuhu…. BUT! Glad we are still here ! Guess it is just another challenge. At least by thinking that way, it could encourage us to carry on.
Ehm….ehm…that’s the bitter sides, hehe…

Sweet..lovely sides, - can we call it sweet?- was when we receive comments and feedbacks from our customers about our items! Thanks to all customers which had supported us until today. ^^  All your feedbacks are valuable to us. Though it’s simply an sms informing that they had received the parcel or just simply saying that they like the items or just a simply “thank you” words…wow…it could brought us to 7th level of heaven! :)) Guess, it’s too exagerate. Haha..we just want to let our customers know how valuable they are to us. ^^

Anyway.. we are on our way to expand our collection to Men’s apparel! And coming son would be more accessories from the western countries. -If Monkey King had had Journey to the East, then ours is Journey to the west! -^^- Ha, other than that, we are trying to bring beauty products into our collections. What’s women needs, just visit [Jocy-Abby] Leanne’s, and all settled! ^^

O gosh, almost forgot! From now onwards, we named our women’s collection as ‘Leanne’, and for men’s collection as ‘Alvaro’. So, if you visit our International website at http://jocyabby.ocnk.biz, please don’t get confuse. As we categorized using “Leanne” and “Alvaro” collections instead of women’s and men’s collection.  :))

Guess, this story is pretty long enough for our first post.

Last but not least, hope all of you enjoy shopping with us. And do remember, we are looking forward for your comments and feedbacks.

We wish you all have a great year ahead! ^^

Thank you.

Warm Regards,

[Jocy-Abby]
