Apple Shape Body Type: Pick gowns in sturdy fabric like taffeta or satin and styles that will accentuate your upper half and disguise your lower problem areas – the perfect dress for you is an empire waist dress.
Hourglass Body Type: An hourglass figure is one of the most sought-after figures and you want to pick out a dress that accentuates your small waist like a body hugging mermaid. Other shapes that look great on your figure are corset dresses and dresses with an exaggerated dropped waist. In fact, you’re one of the lucky ones as almost every style suits an hourglass shape.
Plus Size Body Type: If you have a plus size frame you can choose to do one of two things, accentuate and show off your curves, or opt for a dress that creates a slimming effect. Some of the most flattering styles for a fuller figure include asymmetrical pleating, dresses with ruching and cumberband waistlines. Choose scoop and V necklines to flatter the top part of your body and draw the eye upwards.
