If you don't fall into one category, that's okay! Every body is unique and different, so feel free to pick and choose what you think will suit you! Read on to check out our quick list of your most flattering silhouettes.
Dresses with ruffles and drapes are the rectangle body type's best friend. Embellishments like these will play up your curves and accentuate your best features. Our Song of Love Maxi Dress has well-placed ruffles that will make you look and feel amazing.
A fit-and-flare style will flatter the triangle (or pear) body shape in the best way, highlighting your upper body and waist and falling over your lower body in the most flattering way. One of our fave fit-and-flares is our Hello There Mini Dress!
Dresses that show off your curves are the best for the hourglass body type. Belts and cinched waists will emphasize your shape in the best way! Our My Hallelujah Midi Dress is the perfect belted staple!
The best styles for the round body type are swing, empire, or smock dresses. These flow beautifully and create a gorgeous silhouette. An amazing tiered option is our On An Adventure Mini Dress. You'll love this flirty and flattering style!
A-line dresses are great for the inverted triangle body shape because they work to balance out broad shoulders. Wrap dresses also achieve this and add a bit more shape! The One More Dance Wrap Dress is a gorgeous textured style that will accentuate your best features.
The diamond is another body type that loves an a-line and belted style. This creates a flowing silhouette to balance out your features. Another one of our favorite belted dresses is the Perpetual Bliss Floral Maxi Dress! It's bold and fun and will make you look incredible.
While these might be loose guidelines, you should wear whatever makes you feel amazing. Everybody's body is different so wear what feels best for. you!
