Find Your Body's Best Dress...

Every year there are new trends that are all the rage.  And if you're a fashion follower you probably like to be on trend and therefore try all the new trends.  However, many people give little thought to whether new trends are flattering them.  I'm here to tell you, not all trends are for you!  You can be fashionable and on-trend without being a 'slave to fashion' and wearing items that do not flatter your shape, are not age appropriate or just simply don't suit you!

Today I'm going to share some high-fashion figure flattering dresses, so hopefully this will help you when shopping so that you will purchase a piece that will only flatter your shape and increase your self-confidence!


You might be lacking in curves, but if you're reading this, you don't lack a sense of style.  This summer it's definitely time to join the peplum and/or structured skirt bandwagon.  Adding volume and shape to your lower half will accentuate both your bottom and top half.  It's like a two-for-one deal for amping up your looks.


Straight Talk


It's true that women with bodies that are curvy face some dressing challenges.  We need to make sure there's some spandex in our pieces for stretch and movement, and we need to be careful not to reveal too much and look tacky!  On a less curvy woman being revealing doesn't raise an eyebrow, but if you have a cleavage, people will think you look less than classy if you let it all hang out!  We should keep it simple and chic because what we have on underneath is display enough!  This stunning dress by Issa is exactly what I'm talking about.  Let your shape be your guide and let your pieces show it off.


Curves Ahead


Shorties can easily get lost in flowing gown-like maxi dresses.  But for a woman with a few extra inches on her frame, they're an ideal piece for day and night.  If you're on the tall side, a long, flowy dress like this is ideal for those warm summer nights.


Statuesque


It's called the inverted triangle, sometimes the apple, and it refers to a shape that's a bit top heavy.  What it needs is detail and/or volume around the hip area to create balance.  Think of Donna Karan as your inspiration.  She's one of the reigning queens of draping for flattering a woman's figure.  I love this dress!


Top Down


You might call yourself a triangle or a pear.  Either way, you're an ideal candidate for mid-length dresses that float and follow your movements.  Keep your shoulders and chest exposed for balance and to draw the eye upward.


Bottom Up


Shoulders...many say they're the most beautiful part of a woman, while others know we can have insecurities about a set we feel is too wide.  If this is the case, stick to wide straps, halters or tops cut like this dress.  Drawing the eye inward will create the illusion of a more balanced pair.


Go Wide


If you have the opposite concern, shoulders that are too small, feel free to look for dresses that have extra straps and details, creating a focal point and the gift of shoulders that look further extended than they are.


It's All in the Details


Love your arms?  Then definitely show them off!  You don't need layers and short sleeves, you need looks that are going to put them on display.  Here's one : Thinner straps and skin tones will have onlookers checking out those beautiful arms.
