How To Select Prom Dresses Based On Body Type
Posted: Nov 23, 2012 4:01 AM

When shopping for a prom dresses , body type is an imperative consideration. Definitely you would like to pick a dress that go with your body type. Never choose a dress which looks good on the mannequin or the models. Select a dress that compliments your body figure. The following text gives a few tips on choosing the dress in accordance with your body features.
Straight figures- For those with boyish figures avoid body hugging dresses. An A-line dress which is slightly fitted is a good option as it adds volume and curves. Another option is the open shoulders or a dress with flared skirt.
Hourglass figures- This figure can try anything as they usually appear good in nearly anything. Those with cinched waists and sashes consider strapless or halter top dresses.
Round figure- There are several flattering dresses for those with rounder figure. You can consider the ones with a low neckline and drop waist. A drop waist lengthens your torso and the low neckline helps enhance the bust. Another option is the empire cut dress that lengthens the figure. You can try pairing this with a slightly flared skirt
Pear Shaped Figure- A-line dress with empire waists and straight cut is ideal for this body shape as it lengthens the torso and legs. It can also give the appearance of height and balance.
Sizing: The size too plays an important role in the dressing. Many women have a problem with this factor, as it is difficult to get the exact size. And again the size of each manufacturer varies. But the online catalog will have the dresses along with manufacturers size chart list. To check ones size, take the measurements of the bust, waist and hips, then match up with the chart. But here again confusion, if the match is not found. For example, if the bust is 38 which can be size 10, and the waist is size 6, then choose the largest size.
