pear shape
For pear shaped bodies, we recommend a dress with a fitted top and full or a-line skirt. Or if you are comfortable with your larger bottom, go for something a bit more form fitting to show off your curves.

slender
If you have a slim figure, the illusion of curves can be achieved by drawing attention to your bust line or a dress that bells out. Also, you might try dresses that draw attention to your waist such as a wrap dress or one with a belt.

busty
You can play up what you have by wearing a gorgeous neckline but with fuller coverage so you can make sure you have adequate support. If you would like to draw attention away from your chest look for a dress that attracts the eye to the hem.

petite
If you are petite, show a little leg and go with a short dress or an asymmetrical hemline to make you appear taller. Floor length gowns and full skirts tend to overwhelm your frame. Delicate feminine dresses will go well your body type.

hourglass
If you have an hour glass figure consider yourself lucky! You have a naturally well propotioned body, which means you don't need to disguise anything. Almost every style will flatter your figure.

For an apple shaped body a dress with an empire waist will help draw attention to your middle. Also, a higher waist line means the dress may not be as tight in your problem area. If you have nice athletic legs, you might try to show them off by wearing a shorter dress.
