Selecting the right dress shape is more than just following trends — it’s about celebrating your body, enhancing your best features, and feeling confident.
💬 Ask Yourself:
"What do I want to accentuate or minimize?"
-
Want to highlight curves? Define the waist? Elongate the legs?
-
Prefer to minimize the tummy or hips?
👗 Dress Shapes & What They Do:
A-Line
✔ Best for: All body types
– Fitted at the top and flares from the waist
– Great for minimizing hips and creating balance
Mermaid
– Hugging every curve, it’s dramatic and glamorous
– Accentuates waist, hips, and legs
Trumpet
– Similar to mermaid but flares mid-thigh
– More room to walk, great for balanced curves
Ball Gown
– Fitted bodice with full skirt
– Accentuates the waist while camouflaging hips
Sheath/Column
– Straight cut, elongates the body
– Sleek and minimal, great for showing natural shape
Empire Waist
– Flows from just below the bust
– Hides midsection and elongates the legs
Tea-Length / Mini
– Great for fun events and showing off legs
– Best in A-line or fit-and-flare cut
