Hourglass Honeys

Showcase those curves with a fitted mermaid or trumpet gown that hugs your body in all the right places. Plunging necklines and open backs are also excellent choices to highlight your silhouette.

All About That Bass (Pear Shape)
For those with a smaller bust and a fuller lower half, consider A-line or ballgown silhouettes. These styles gracefully skim over your hips and emphasize your small waist. Experiment with bold colors or intricate detailing on the bodice to draw attention upward.

Athletic Build
If you have an athletic build with a straighter frame, you can create the illusion of curves with a sheath or column dress. Opt for dresses with cutouts, slits, or ruching to add visual interest and enhance your feminine features. Don't shy away from high slits that show off your strong, toned legs!

Petite Power
For our petite goddesses, the key is to elongate your frame. Empire-waist dresses and high-low hemlines work wonders for creating the illusion of height. A form-fitting mermaid gown can also add the illusion of length by accentuating your curves.

Flaunt Those Shoulders
If you're blessed with broad shoulders, off-the-shoulder or one-shoulder dresses can beautifully balance your silhouette. These styles draw attention away from your shoulders and create a more proportional look. A-line dresses with a defined waist can also complement your figure.

Love Your Bust
For those with a fuller bust, provide the support you need with dresses featuring a structured bodice, halters, or sweetheart necklines. A-line or ballgown styles will help create a balanced look, and be sure to choose fabrics that offer both comfort and style.
