Which Prom Dress Fits your Body Type?

Prom might be the biggest event of your high school life, and whether you’re dreading it or can’t wait for it to arrive, one thing is for sure; you need the perfect dress for the occasion. There are all types of body types in this world, and just because you don’t like all your features, doesn’t mean you can’t find the perfect prom dress that will look breathtaking on you. Here are a few body types and the dresses that work best on them:

Prom Dress

Pear Shaped
Pear shaped body types are heavier at the bottom, and so need a dress that helps even things out by accentuating the upper body and minimizing the lower. Go for something that is fitted from the waist up and flares out into a retro tulle skirt down below.

Rectangular
Rectangular shaped bodies are boyish with little or no curves, and so the perfect dress would be fitted in at the waist, possibly with a belt. Be sure to not use too much fabric. Also, a great way to create the illusion of curves is to color block with different colors at the top and bottom.

Hourglass
These are blessed body types which look good in almost everything. However, they should flaunt their god-gifted shape with form-fitting dresses, especially at the torso such as a mermaid style dress. Don’t go for something too flowy or loose-fitted as this would hide your perfect figure.

Petite
Petite shaped women should never cover up too much. Since you are already small-framed, you might get lost in all that fabric. Go for something short, delicate and clingy and brings out your feminine style.

Apple Shaped
An empire waist works best for apple shaped women as it accentuates the bust and flairs out below. If you have nice legs, go for something till the knee or slightly below, and show off your arms and shoulders to break the abundant flowing fabric.

The beauty of fashion is in finding the style that best suits you and makes you look your best. It is all about hiding your flaws and accentuating the good stuff. Especially when you shop for a dress online, you should know your body type so you can look for the styles that best suit your body.
