How to Select a Figure Flattering Prom Dress For Your Body Type

One way to define a woman’s body type is by how her curves connect her bust, waist, and hips.

Remember, you may not fit squarely into one category — most
people don’t!

Women who are top-heavy with a bust three or more inches bigger than hips have an “Apple” body type. Most women with this body type will want to emphasize your legs and behind while drawing attention away from their arms and waist. Prom dresses that fit loosely around the midsection will be the most flattering.

If your waist is about the same as hips and waist, more like a “cylinder” you will want to add frills and belts to give you more feminine shape. Avoid baggy loose fitting dresses such as sheath or column dresses which run pretty straight from your shoulders to your toes.

If you are a woman who has a “pear shape” and is bottom-heavy, your hips are significantly larger than your bust and you will want to draw attention away from your lower body. Do this by selecting a dress with a plunging V-neck, halter top or embellished neckline. This natural waist satin beaded lace prom dress would surely draw attention to your assets and away from your bottom.

If you are one of the lucky few women with a narrow waist and equal hip and bust measurements then you should dress to emphasize your beautiful curves, not flatten them. If you’ve got the curves of an “hourglass” body type this sexy ruffled prom dress is sure to move with your natural curves and emphasize them.

Whatever your body type love it because you are
beautiful just the way you are!
