There is no perfect body or perfect dress. Everybody is beautiful in their own way. We are often in a constant war with our looks, trying to copy what someone else is wearing. It is time you stop comparing yourself with others and learn how to find the right dress for your body type.

Fully endowed with hips and thighs

If you are a pear-shaped woman, avoid dresses that are shorter than two or more inches above your knees. A dress that has an A-line skirt, but is not full, is a good choice. If you try a super full or short dress you might end up looking like you are wearing a tu-tu.

“How do I know if I am pear shaped?” This is easy; you are pear shaped if you usually wear different sizes on the top and bottom. You can use a horizontal stripe on the upper part to add width and darker colors for the lower part. You will realize you look better with a two-piece dress as opposed to a one-piece dress.

Slim beauties

Being lightweight is a good thing, especially with the correct choice of dress. Never go for a knit or sweater dress. Adding layers to your dress is great, such as a fitted jacket or a cardigan. A thick belt on the waist defines it more. Bubble dresses are also a good option, especially now that they are in season.

You must admit that curves are great, and those who are lucky to be curvy attract attention. Therefore, a slim girl who lacks curves can always find a substitute. One can add curves via peplums, curvaceous patterns and ruffles.

Full waist

If you are apple shaped with a thick waist, you should concentrate on the torso and draw attention away from the waist. Choose dresses that have a drop or empire waist so you can redefine your waistline. Do not wear thick belts, but go for a sash or chain belt slung low at the hip instead.

Consider concentrating on your shoulders. Avoid padding because it makes them seem bulky. Instead, choose a structured jacket that will accentuate your shoulders. You can also wear a dress that covers your shoulders. Use detailing such as some puffiness or blousing to balance your shoulder to hip ratio. For those who have fuller arms, sleeveless dresses are a terrible choice. Instead, billowy or bell sleeves that are either full or three-quarters are an ideal option. They will flatter your upper body which is where your strength lies.
