Choosing the Right Dress

Let’s start with the pear shaped look. Attributes include a slender and often elongated torso, small bust, with hips and thighs proportionally larger than the torso and waist. Now, as the lower part is broader than shoulders, toss the tight straight skirt in favor of an a-line skirt or empire waistline to de-emphasize the lower half of your body. It’s better to add padded shoulders to balance the top and bottom part of your body. At times you can also mix colors and wear a double toned dress. The lighter shade on top and a darker tone for the bottom will give a balanced look.
Another body type is the hour glass shape. Attributes include a small bone structure and waistline with bust and hips proportionally larger than the waist: in a word, voluptuous. If you have that then congrats, it is considered to be the most appealing body shape by men! It gives the “sexy look” to be more precise. You have good curves that are seductive but don’t over-emphasize it by wearing too tight clothes. De-emphasize your voluptuous, abundant curves by shedding tight-fitting clothing in favor of clothing with a looser, smoother fit. Monotone colors work best as it provides a sense of continuity from head to toe. Wear heavy jewelry on the neck or flashy earrings to take the attention off your heavy bust and bottom.
For females with a straight boyish figure including minimum curves, only a few near the shoulder and hips, two piece dresses like a skirt and top look better that a one piece cocktail dress. Wear wrap tops that gives a shape to your waistline and brings out the feminine look. People with round body shapes and more than average physique but with slimmer legs should wear lose fitting clothes with a v-neck and jewelry and good news is that designers are now designing clothes meant for them unlike what it was a few years back.
Another body shape is inverted triangle i.e. broad shoulders with narrow waistline. Wear a dress with flair skirt. Try an unusual or asymmetrical hemline. You can also draw attention off your broad shoulders by wearing flashy shoes.So, identify your body type and get the right look!
