Tailoring for Rectangle Body Shape in Zephyrhills & Wesley Chapel
Occasionally, garments hang – straight and shapeless – on a rectangle body type (balanced bust, waist, hips, with minimal definition).
You may want more curve and structure.
At Ella’s Alterations, we don’t reinvent your body—we enhance it.
Think darts, panels, belts, and seams that celebrate your shape with exactly the right balance.
Serving Zephyrhills, Dade City, Lutz, Land O’Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, Tampa, Brooksville, and surrounding areas.
What Defines the Rectangle Body Style?
A rectangle figure is typically long-built, with nearly equal measurements at bust, waist, and hips.
The visual interest comes from adding structure—waist shaping, curved seams, and thoughtful tailoring to create the illusion of natural curves.
Common Fit Challenges for Rectangle Figures
- Boxy dresses or loose blazers that offer no shape.
- Baggy tops at waist that skim over rather than shape.
- Pants that slip or sit flat without contour.
- Length issues: mid-section clothing may fall unevenly.
Tailoring Solutions to Create Curves
Ella’s tailored strategies include:
- Front/back darts: craft gentle curves around bust and waist.
- Side panels or princess seams: shape form-fitting lines down torso.
- Belted tailoring: nip-in at natural or just-above-waist points.
- Curved hems: visually elongate legs and define waist.
- Jackets with shape: add structure at shoulder, dart-waist back, and collar height.
- Pants with contoured waistbands: prevent slipping and define hips.

Style Tips That Wow
- Add belts: natural or high-waist belts reveal shape.
- Layer jackets: structured coats open to reveal cinched under-layers.
- Play with top detail: ruffles, bows, or peplums draw attention to waist panels.
- Fitted pants: tapered or slim-cut pants add contour to lower half.
- Heeled footwear: They elevate posture and help clothes flow elegantly.
