7 Different Dress Styles for 7 Different Body Types
It does not really matter what body shape your figure belongs to. The most important thing is to know what dress type to choose in order to look your best.
This list will be of great help to those ladies who have only recently started to wear dresses and are still learning about fashion and their own bodies. It’s not difficult at all to master the skill and learn the basic rules to avoid the most common mistakes. Here is what you should keep in mind:


1. Shirt dress

An hourglass body shape is known to cause the least problems to their owner. Almost any dress type looks good on an hourglass figure. Try a shirt dress on and see how gorgeous you look in it. It’s elegant, simple and can be worn with or without a belt. Do not be afraid of fresh ideas!
2. A-line dress

This type of dress looks great on every lady. It can flatter both apple and pear-shaped bodies. Dresses of this style are usually recommended for tall women. If you are short yet self-confident, you may try it. However, we think there are better options for petite women.
 

3. Maxi dress

There are some certain rules for petite ladies to follow when they are shopping for a maxi dress. It’s not about the length; rather it’s about the print you choose. Opt for smaller prints. Maxi dresses are especially good on women with no distinct curves and for those with a long torso.


4. Peplum dress

If your shoulders are wider than the average, opt for a peplum dress. The flare at your hips will balance out your shoulders. This is the best dress type you may think of if you want to solve this small nuisance. Besides, peplum dresses look flirty and sexy as well.
 

5. Mini dress

Mini dresses are the best petite woman’s friend! Petite ladies do not have long legs and do all possible to make them look longer. Wearing a mini dress is exactly the way how you can accentuate your beautiful legs. If a mini dress is not enough, then we suggest wearing a pair of high-heel pumps, preferably of nude colors. Taller ladies, no doubt, also look gorgeous in mini dresses.
 

6. Wrap dress

Another dress type that is right for a pear-shaped figure is the wrap dress. It draws away attention from the wide hips and makes your waste look slimmer. It is an excellent style for those who want to balance out body proportions. Such dresses shape you up and accentuate your femininity. The wrap dress will also add some additional attention to your bust.
  

7. Sheath dress

Apple-shaped women are recommended to wear sheath dresses. They will hide your tummy, but only if you choose the right size. Make sure that the sheath dress you picked is not too tight. If it is too small, it will only ruin your figure. The sheath dress is an excellent choice for ladies of all the above-mentioned body types.


It’s good to realize that designers have always been creative enough and now we can look our best if we learn and follow these simple rules. Our bodies are different and the only best indicator of whether you are in the right dress is your own mirror. What dress type do you look good in?
