Fuller Bust Body: Scoop and square necklines enhance bust lines. Widely spaced straps dimish a busty figure. Strapless dresses are another possibility, but could go either way. Remember, support will be an issue. If you see your bust as your best physical trait then a dress that draws the eye to your bust line is best. |

A Petite Body Type: Clean dresses without much fabric look nice on petite figures. Avoid ball gowns and large or long skirts. Showing leg tends to make you look taller. Don't have too many large accessories, but do add a pair of Alisha Hill shoes with very high heels. They look great and can add a little height. |

Pear Shaped Body: If you are pear shaped and comfortable with your larger behind then you can choose a form fitting dress. To look more balanced go for full or an a-line skirt. Fitted tops generally look nice. Another dress option that looks nice on a pear shaped body is a ball gown. |
Slender Body: To achieve a more curved look choose a dress that draws attention to your bust line. On slim women it is attractive to show off your thin waist by drawing attention to it with your gown choice. Ornaments, belts or wraps do this nicely. |
|
Hourglass Body Type: You can't really go wrong. You can feel comfortable wearing just about any dress. Corset dresses and two-piece dresses look great on hourglass figures. An hourglass figure is well proportioned and nothing needs to be hidden or enhanced by your dress to look great. |

Apple Body Type: An apple body type is described as one with wide torso (full bust, wiast and upper back). Apple shaped women often have top-heavy look. Dresses with empire waists will help draw attention to your middle. V-necks will make the body look less round. Generally full skirts and maybe try a dress that shows some leg if you like the way your legs look. |
