Prom Dresses by Body Type


For pear shape we recommend a dress with a fitted top and full or a-line skirt. Or if you are comfortable with your larger behind go for something a bit more form fitting.

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.

You can play up what you have by wearing a gorgeous neckline but look for something 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.

If you are petite show a little leg and go with or go with 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.

If you have an hour glass figure consider yourself lucky! You have a naturally well propotioned body with means you don't need to disguise any thing. Almost every style will flatter your figure. Have fun with it!

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.
