What to Expect

Dresses & Occasion

Taking Shape’s dress selection focuses on drape, stretch and proportion for curvy figures. You’ll find wrap styles, shirred and wrap-neck dresses with longer hemlines and sleeve options suited for events, work or weekend wear. Fabrics lean toward reliable knits and jersey blends that hold shape while providing comfortable movement across sizes.

Trousers & Tailoring

Tailored trousers and stretch pants are cut for comfort and a flattering line — wider waistbands, higher rises and flexible fabrics. Taking Shape often offers classic work trousers, relaxed chinos and pull-on styles designed to sit comfortably at the hips without gaping at the back, making them easy to pair with blouses or structured blazers.

Knitwear & Layers

Knitwear includes cardigans, soft jumpers and layering pieces in thicker knits and lightweight blends. Expect longer lengths and relaxed fits to cover and flatter, plus versatile colors for capsule wardrobes. These pieces are aimed at everyday layering and travel, with attention to durability and easy care to fit busy lifestyles.
