Six of us, six different body types, one team retreat, and a whole lot of trying things on together. Here’s what we each wore and what we thought about it.
Nobody asked, but our team retreat turned into the most fun group try-on session I’ve ever done, and I had to share it. When you’re surrounded by women who all have different bodies, different styles, and different comfort zones, you learn so much about what actually works and why.
We all tried on similar pieces and ended up in very different places, and that’s exactly the point. Seeing the same silhouette on six different body types tells you a lot more than seeing it on one person who looks a certain way. Our team includes petites, curvy figures, taller frames, and everything in between — and we all left with opinions.
Here is everyone on the team, our heights, and typical sizes so you can reference!
