Every woman has a body shape that is different from the other. In choosing the right style and fit for a dress, recognizing your shape is very important. We base a woman's body with five basic shapes.
First is full-bust. This includes girls that have a large upper body, most strongly in the bust. With this figure, one should opt for v-necks or high-neck tops. Something to stay away from would be rounded and square necklines. It will also help if you wear a shelf bra. Another good tip is to use subtle shades. To deemphasize your top, go for a dress that has a sexy slit that can draw attention to your legs.

Second is full-bottom. For girls that have a bigger hip measurement and whose shoulders are very narrow. Your goal should be to make your shoulder look wider. This can be accomplished with an A-line gown. Lucky for you, any type of neckline would look great and you can even explore in ruching and many embellishments at the bust.
Third is full-round. If you are short-waisted and your shoulders and hips are about the same width, you might be looking for a way to make your figure appear longer. Go ahead and go with a solid color, but try not to use a different color for the top than the bottom. Wide v-necks, jeweled necklines (very trendy this season!) and open necklines would be great options! Try a strapless!

Fourth is hour-glass. Lucky for you, nearly anything and everything will work!

And fifth is slender. For those of you who are long, lean and have a hard time showing your curves. Try not to make the mistake of trying large and colorful prints. Instead, show off your curves with a scoop or rounded v-neck. You might want to invest in a wonder bra as well.
