The Disadvantage of Having the Desired Figure

I'm always really bad at clothes shopping. Not only am I ridiculously picky, but even when I find something I like it always ends up looking awful on me. I think I've figured out why. A lot of clothes are designed to replicate the hourglass figure, but I'm pretty close to an hourglass, so I often find that many clothes exaggerate features that I already have, and end up looking ridiculous. It's funny that we have this image of the desired figure, and clothing companies try to let women look like they have this figure, but ignore those who are already hourglasses. What is considered the 'desired' figure is in fact a disadvantage, as it's that much harder to find clothes that don't look stupid on you. I don't think this is the sole reason I have trouble finding clothes, but it's an interesting thought.
