Nothing makes a woman feel more feminine and beautiful than a great dress!
From the famous little black dress to the iconic Diane Von Furstenburg wrap dress, there are a number of dresses from which to choose to make a statement. But what is flattering on some may not sit right on others.
Finding the right dress comes down to picking a dress that works well with your body type. Not sure how to accomplish this? Read on to learn how to find the perfect dress to suit your body type!
Long and Lean
Women with long and lean body types are the envy of many a woman. One of the great benefits of this body type is that you can make nearly any dress look great. This might make shopping take a little longer, but it’ll also be less stressful.
One of the downfalls of this body type, however, is that it can appear that you lack curves. One way to counter this is to look for a-line dresses that cinch at the waist and then widens out, giving the appearance of a more curvy figure. A-line dresses are super flattering and feminine, too.
Hourglass
Women with curvy or hourglass figures have historically been considered to have one of the most feminine figures. Women with hourglass figures are wider in the bust and hips than they are in the waist.
Dresses that work well on this body type are ones that accentuate your curves. That means dresses that hug your curves like bodycon dresses and the wrap dress. Other options include skater dresses and pin-up style dresses — anything with a high waist and a lower neckline.
Avoid dresses with high necklines as they can make your upper body appear to be out of proportion with your lower body.
Petite
There are plenty of women who struggle to find a flattering dress that are a petite size. Petites are suited for women who are 5’3 and under, and for whom regular length clothing is too long. They tend to struggle with maxi and even midi dresses because they hit the floor.
Mini dresses work incredibly well for petite women, and pairing them with a nude heel can give the illusion of length to your legs. You can also embrace the high low dress trend and don a lovely print to show off your figure!
The Perfect Dress is Just a Click Away!
Finding the perfect dress doesn’t have to be super complicated, it just takes a little bit of research and a little bit of time in the fitting room. The feeling you get wearing that dress will make all that effort totally worth it! Now, head out and turn heads in your gorgeous dress!
