A great dress not only looks cute, it fits well and compliments your figure. The last part can be tricky to get right though. The dress you’re trying on might fit your hips, but makes your shoulders look like a football player’s. A design that’s perfect on the mannequin gives you the appearance of a circus tent. It can be aggravating to say the least. The most likely culprit behind the frustration is a design meant for another body type than yours. Studies show that women’s figures can be categorized into a handful of body types based on their proportions. It may seem like getting pigeon-holed for your figure, but this information helps designers create apparel that works better for you and when you know your body type, you can plan an outfit more easily.
Triangle
Women with the triangle shape commonly have narrow shoulders and wide hips. With a triangle type, the upper body should be given more emphasis to balance out the difference. Try prints with a crew neck that’s tight fitting. If you want to further emphasize the top, wear a light-colored blouse with a dark skirt or pants. The contrast will draw eyes upward.
The Rectangle or Lean Type
Skinny and lean body types are marked by a narrow frame that appears long without much variation in shape from shoulders to hips. If you’re like most ladies of the rectangle, you’ll be looking to create curves. Start with a scoop neck or open top with a flowing skirt. The U and V shapes of the clothing will help build on your figure, giving it more fullness.
Apple
Apples are fuller from their bust down to their belly, but often have defined or average hips and legs. Fitted pants with a belt around your waist will show the leanness of your hips and legs. Tops with an elevated waist can aid to cover the tummy. Apples figure type should go for half-close-fitted clothes with a belt on waist to make it look lean. Tops with an elevated waist can help to cover the tummy. And it’s typically recommended to go with a single color to diminish the contrast from top to bottom.
Hourglass
This type comes with curves from beginning to end. Women with an hourglass figure should emphasize their waist and bust. Form-fitting clothing that emphasizes your shape will serve you well. Go with a dress that’s less about prints or patterns and more about a fabric that shows your shape off.
