Tips in finding the 'perfect dress'
Go Figure!
Whatever your boy type - curvy, top - or bottom-heavy, tall and lean - there is surely a dress suited for you. The trick is simple highlight your best assets..
Women with smaller bust may add volume to their figure by wearing dresses with ruffless and other embellishments on the bodice.
If you have it flaunt it! If you're top-heavy, opt a flattering neckline (V-neck or plunging neckline) for the full bust and balance this with a flowing full skirt. Women who are top-heavy should avoid oranate necklines, embellished bodices and blouson styles.
Girls with boyish (long and lean) figure should avoid anything too fitted, which can emphasized a straight silhouette. Instead wear skirts that create the illusion of a curvy figure. Choose pretty colors and soft fabrics for a girlier feel.
Girls with hourglass figure (big bust, small waist, big hips) look great in dresses with waistlines to accentuate the waist, like this flowing cocktail dress with a wide belt.
