Women come in a variety of beautiful body shapes and sizes. Finding a dress that suits your shape perfectly means that you can attend any event feeling radiant and confident.

{According to psychology, wearing well-fitting clothes can have an impact on our mental processes, thoughts, and opinions. Wearing clothes that make you feel confident allows you to feel more positively about yourself and your surroundings

Body Shapes

Strawberry shapes have a generous bust. Dresses with straps will provide the best support, whereas a higher neckline can ensure you are still able to wear a bra if this is more comfortable for you. Go for a dress that is cinched under the bust area for added definition, or a fishtail hem to provide balance.

Pear shapes have fuller hips. They can steal the show with intricate detailing on the bust area. Slinky, figure-skimming styles work well, as do backless dresses, which are no problem for the pear shape to carry off, when a bra may not be necessary.

Hourglass figures are all about the shape. Sweetheart necklines and cinched-in waistlines ensure there is emphasis and definition on curves, while fishtail hems also work well.

An apple shape tends to have a fuller midsection. A lower neckline or embellishment across the bust can help to draw the eye upwards, while a skirt with a slight flare gives you a feminine shape.

Rectangle shapes tend to be less defined, but beautifully athletic. Choosing a dress with a fuller skirt or a mermaid-style hem can help to create shape and the illusion of curves.
