Why Fit Matters (Especially for Curves)
Curvy figures (hourglass, pear, apple, full-figured) often face issues like gaping waists, tight hips, or clingy fabric. The key to dressing curves is precision fit—highlighting your shape, not squeezing or hiding it.
That’s why Tellar exists: with your bust/waist/hip measurements, Tellar.co.uk instantly matches your body to real garment specs across 1,500+ brands, helping you buy confidently—no guesswork.
