DRESS YOUR BODY TYPE FOR PROM

Prom rolls around year after year like clockwork and with that, comes the added stress of finding the perfect dress.

For the fashion forward and style conscious take cues from celebrity red carpet events or flip through fashion magazines for inspiration. Keep in mind your colouring when choosing a dress as you may find that certain colours flatter your skin type and others make you look washed out.

Remember that dresses just like women come in all shapes and sizes, so if you are unsure of what to go for, you should always start with the style most flattering to your figure. It's all about highlighting the features you love and hiding the ones you don't.

THE
SLENDER
SILHOUETTE

Create the illusion of a curvy figure by drawing attention to your lean physique with structured dresses. Dress fabrics that are bulky can make your frame look rigid. Wrap dresses with a belt will compliment your waist line and bust line.

THE
PEAR
SHAPED
SILHOUETTE

A-line prom dresses with a fitted top flatter pear shaped figures. If you have curvy hips and a well endowed rear the main goal would be to draw attention away from the hips and thighs. Prom dresses that are form fitting are your go to choice.

THE
BUSTY
SILHOUETTE

The busty silhouette has a waist that is not well defined, narrow hips and a large bust line. Look for prom dresses with a flattering neckline and fuller coverage for support.

Draw attention away from your chest and choose dresses that attract the eye to the hem. If you are lucky enough to be blessed with gorgeous legs, show them off with dresses that skim your knees. If you go any shorter, it will create the illusion of a top heavy look.

THE
HOUR
GLASS
SILHOUETTE

You should consider yourself blessed with a curvaceous well proportioned silhouette. This means that you don't have to hide anything. When dressing an hour glass figure draw attention to your waist by accentuating it with belts.

Though most prom dresses will look good on you, wrap dresses, open necklines and form fitted tops will compliment your figure even more.

THE
PETITE
SHAPED
SILHOUETTE

Showing a little leg will go a long way. Asymmetrical hemlines or long ruffles create the illusion of height. Delicate feminine dresses can also be a great compliment to your body type.
