Dress Your Best: Body Type Tips

Face it, we're not all six-foot tall size zero models. And frankly, if we all looked the same, where's the fun in shopping for a formal dress? Some have curves to show off, while others a slender waist or long legs. Whatever your fabulous features, forget trends, and choose the dress shape that fits your body type.

For busty beauties, try a halter top for full support. Choose a dress with an eye-catching hem line to draw the eye away from your chest. Stay away from strapless.

For slender ladies, create the illusion of curves with a dress that bells out or has an obvious waist line. Show off your long and lean physique with a form-fitting gown.

Pear-shaped girls look gorgeous in a fitted top and an A-lined or full skirt. Stick with solid colors, simple prints or vertically flowing shapes.

If you have an apple-shaped figure, try an empire waist that draw attention away from your mid and lower regions, accentuating a beautiful neckline. If you're proud of your legs, show them off with a short dress.

For petite gals, choose a dress that's simple in style and shape. Avoid full skirts and floor-length, as these shapes tend to overwhelm your body. Choose delicate, lightweight fabrics

Hourglass figures can wear nearly anything, but make sure to wear your size. Too tight around the bust or hip off-balances your symmetry.

Flatter your figure this season in a dress that's made for your body. Take a good look in the mirror, claim your frame, and slip into something glamorous and comfortable.
