I am trying to understand what type of suit features best work for my body. I do plan on getting a MTM suit, but I want a suit that would be flattering for my body type. I came across this thread on a suit's silhouette: http://putthison.com/post/14219108518/understanding-a-suits-silhouette-its-common-to.
The thread speaks about "drapes" and "swells" but doesn't explain it very well to me. Can someone explain the difference between "drape" and "swell" when it comes to suits and what type of person this works well for? Pictures with arrows/lines/circles will help.
What silhouette works best for someone with an athletic body type (broad shoulders and chest but a smaller waist - drop 7 or 8)?
