Choose Dresses According to Your Figure
When you go shopping for a dress you need to know what to look for
and you need to try them on. Just because a dress looks gorgeous on
the hanger doesn’t mean that it will look good on your body. The
following tips will help you to select a dress that will look
fantastic on your body.
Petite Women
Petite is usually used to describe women who are under 5’3” tall,
who have a small frame, and who have an average sized bust. The goal
of your dress shape should be to elongate your body. The best dress
shapes for you will include sheath dresses, empire waists, and
A-line dresses. A short hemline is best for your body type because
showing a little leg will help to stretch you out. If you are short
waisted then you can elongate your body by selecting an empire
waisted dress.
Full-Figured Women
A full-figured women can be any height as long as she is curvy from
top to bottom. The goal of the dress for this body type is to slim
the body down. To do this you will want to select a dress that
doesn’t cling to each inch of your body. Instead you will want to
find a cut that is fitted on the top and that then floats away from
your hips and thighs. Some of the best options for you include ball
gowns, A-line cuts, and empire cuts.
Pear-shaped Women
If you are bottom heavy then your dress will need to be fitted on
the top and then float away from the body on the bottom. This will
help to create a slimmer look, and it will help to draw attention to
your slimmer upper body. Some of the best dress choices for this
body type include a ball gown, an A-line cut, and an empire cut.
Athletic Women
If you have an athletic build with few curves to speak of then the
goal of your dress will be to create the illusion of curves. To do
this you will want a dress that has boning or cinching in the waist.
This will help to pull your shape in to create a curvier silhouette.
Some of your best options include a ball gown and an empire cut
dress.
Busty Women
Busty women are usually women who have breast larger than a C cup.
The goal for your dresses will be to support the breasts and keep
your body in balance. You will want to avoid strapless dresses that
don’t have corseting because they will not offer your breasts the
support that they need. Instead you should look for strappy dresses,
or dresses with corseting. Some of your best options include: ball
gowns, A-line dresses, and empire waist cut dresses.
