Frequently asked questions
Which silhouettes suit a apple body type?
Wrap styles and an empire waist sit comfortably and flatter through the middle. Soft, flowing fabrics like georgette and vertical lines create an easy, elongated silhouette. A apple shape is broader shoulders and bust with narrower hips, and every DIYO garment is cut to your own measurements, so the proportions the sketch promises are the proportions you get.
Which fabrics work best for a apple body type?
Soft, flowing fabrics — georgette first, then light cotton — in wrap and empire-waist silhouettes. Stiff organza sitting at the waist is the one combination to avoid.
Do I need to pick a size?
No. DIYO does not use a size chart — every garment is stitched to your own measurements. After you approve a quote we send a link on WhatsApp to enter them, and the sizing guide at /guides/sizing shows how to take each one at home.
How do I use this guide in the DIYO designer?
Choose the outfit category this guide points you to, then a hand-drawn sketch in that category, then a fabric from the fabric guides. Preview the finished design — on a model or on your own photo — and request a quote on WhatsApp from the preview screen.
