Formal dresses would be the right clothes for special attractions, especially evening parties. However, a number ofgirls have problems choosing one simply because they don't have the knowledge of which styles can suit their individual figures. Don't worry though, as here we have several tips for choosing formal dresses for some typical figures. Let's take a look at them:
Ladies with pear figures
Features of this figure: You have relatively narrow shoulders with body fat centralized on your hips, upper arms and thighs. Compared with the bigger lower part of the body, the upper part of your body and the waist are thinner.
This is the most common shape for women worldwide.
The general principle is to wear dresses that have a looser upper part and tighter lower part; light color for the upper and dark color for the other. In other words it's important to add proportion to the upper part, for example, something with shoulder pads, striking necklines and so on.
Try to avoid sleeveless necklines and necklines which are too low cut or tight. On the other hand, the skirt should not be loose.
Now you've got the right formal dresses, we need to focus on our hair style and other accessories. Your hair will look good if it's shoulder-length. Better avoid an up-do as this could make your neck look thinner which has an impact on your proportion again. Curls are fine however. Wear some bright makeup; especially lip gloss and sparkly eye-shadow.
Ladies with slim figures
Features of the figure: You're tall and thin, lacking in|without sexy curves.
The upside of this figure is that you're slim, however its downside is that you lack feminine curves. So the priority is to stress your waistline and boost those curves!
Avoid formal dresses that have V-shaped collars and narrow skirts(especially one-piece narrow dresses). It also makes sense to avoid black and other slimming dark colors.
You need dresses that can create beautiful curves, such as dresses with belts or sashes and A-line skirts. You can also use decorations to your advantage, so be aware that formal dresses with ruffles, pleats and bunches in certain areas will add volume to your shape and give you a more feminine silhouette.
Speaking of volume, curly hair styles also apply here for the same reason. You may also wear accessories like belts or chains around your waist too.
Ladies with apple figures
Features of the figure: You're pretty much the opposite of the pear figure. You are chubbiest on the upper part of your body, such as on your back or around the waist. Additionally your face, chest and abdomen can be kind of plump too.
Looking positively this can be a nice, curvy figure. However you may look too chunky and thick-waisted, so when it comes to formal dresses, you should wear something simple.
You don't need superfluous decoration or volume here since they would just make your upper body even bigger.
Good options are collarless and sleeveless dresses or tight princess dresses in plain colors. Speaking of color, pure colors are much better than the flowery patterns that are in vogue right now as these also add weight to the eye. Anyway, over-loose formal dresses are not welcome here either.
As for your hair style, just keep it simple. Long, short or with a bob are all OK, as long as you avoid extreme waves or curls and stiff bangs.
See, a little bit of effort and attention can achieve your goal of looking great in formal dresses no matter what shape you are. Do some research beforehand then you'll look perfect.
