Women in all ages like to show off themselves in various evening dresses at different parties. But do you find the right one? What kind of evening dress is flattering your body shape perfectly? Which evening gown will fit and flatters you best? The following guidelines may be helpful when choosing your evening dress.
If you're Pear-shapes
Look for: A skirt which subtly flares out from the natural waist to the floor. Such kind of V-Neck evening dress accentuates the slinky midsection and drifting away from the hips.
Fabrics: Duchess satin, taffeta
Neckline: Spaghetti strap, v-neck
Silhouette: A-line
Theme: Classic, elegant, formal
If You're Apple-Shaped
Look for: An A-line evening dress that emphasizes the smallest part on the waistline and flow out a gradual floor length A shape.
Fabrics: Organza, satin, silk
Neckline: Deep V (which highlights the vertical)
Silhouette: A-line
Tips: Avoid mermaid/trumpet dress which highlights your widest body part and then flows out at the most slender part of your body.
If You're Busty
Look for: A strapless evening gown with a sweetheart neckline.
Fabrics: Organza, satin, silk
Neckline: Scooped neck, sweetheart
Silhouette: A-line
If You're Small-Chested
Look for: An evening dress with ruched bodice which build gorgeous curves.
Tips: Avoid calf-length skirt as well as ball gowns or dropped waist which makes your legs look shorter or even disappeared. Don't choose a dress with huge bows or exaggerated embellishments.
If You're Tall
Look for: A simple designed evening gown with natural shape reflects your longer proportions.
