You have what's known as a 'straight' body type, also known as a rectangle/ruler. It basically means that your top half is proportional to your bottom half, so your waist isn't very defined. The key to dressing a Straight body type is to proportionally dress the top and bottom of your body while enhancing your waist. You can wear form fitting clothing (such as a tube-type dress) and create a waist by adding a wide, dark belt. .
