When you choose a dress, don’t choose one just because it looks nice. Select a dress that best suits your body type.

• If you’re pear shaped (generous hips and thighs), choose dresses that are not too tight at the bottom. You should go for dresses with eye-catching details on the upper body of the dress and keep those pleats and gathers at the bottom to a minimum.

 

• For curvy women, I would suggest clothes that flatter your shape instead of hide it. After all, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. Get clothes that fit you perfectly. Not too tight nor too loose; let it be just right. The help of a tailor can go a long way for curvy women. It might be a little more expensive and time-consuming, but the results make every penny worth it.

• Flabby arms and wide shoulders? Don’t worry. To hide those problem areas, wear a jacket or a dress with long sleeves. Make sure the sleeves are not skin tight. If you try to use a shawl to hide your arms, it will make you look heavier on top. Don’t wear sleeves that are too big or fluffy either. They will make your shoulders look wider.

• Women who are petite can wear dresses with vertical stripes to create the illusion of height. If you have lean legs, knee length dresses or dresses slightly above the knee are the most flattering. Avoid horizontal stripes, wide belts and dresses that are calf length if you are petite. They will emphasize your short stature.

All these tips plus the right attitude will make it easy for you too look good every time you step out the door, no matter which body type you have.
