Women are in all shapes and sizes. Knowing your body type is the first step in dressing well. It is also the most crucial aspect of choosing the right party dress that flatters your form. Women usually fall in to one of the six figure categories – pear-shaped, hourglass, slender, apple-shaped, busty, or petite. If you are not sure about your body type, then the first step is to measure yourself and correspond your numbers to a figure that best describes your shape. Once you are clear about your body, it becomes easier to find a party dress that is flattering for your form.
Assuming that you know your figure type, it is time to buy the perfect Party Wear Western Dresses that will accentuate all the right curves of your body.
Choose a flattering neckline
Did you know that every body shape can be further defined by choosing the right neckline? From slender to curvaceous figures, there is a neckline for everyone that complements their body. If you want to draw attention to your waistline, then consider wearing a V-neck party dress. It creates a visually slimming effect and makes you look slender. If you prefer a curvier look, then consider getting a sweetheart neckline to create a well-rounded look at the top of the bodice. If you want to draw attention to your upper body, then you can also look at short party dresses with off-shoulder or high necklines. A flounce or a ruffle is really hot this season. So you can also experiment with that look if you have a slender frame.
Accentuate your waistline
If you want to show your midriff or hide your waistline, then you would have to pick a dress that flatters the curves on your body. If you are looking to take the attention off your waistline, then empire-line dresses are perfect because they cinch right below the bust and flares out into an A-line skirt, hiding the bulge below. However, if you have a tiny waist that you don’t mind flaunting or a curvy figure, then add a belt on your natural waistline to define the curves. You can also accentuate your waist by wearing a fitted dress that clearly defines your natural waist. Be careful when choosing the waistlines though. A drop waist that can conceal the hips and make them look smaller, whereas a shift dress can completely camouflage the midriff.
Highlight your best features
When buying a party dress, think of the features that you would like to highlight as well as the features that you would like to conceal. For example, if you want to add more volume to your bustline, then wear halter-neck dresses and off-shoulder party dresses that can amplify your bust. If you want to create an illusion of curvaceous waistline, then try dresses that define your natural waist while adding volume to the hips with the help of full skirts. If you want to make your form slimmer, then avoid wearing bold prints, flashy beads, or pockets on skirts. Instead, choose dramatic necklines to draw the attention to your upper body.
Choose the fabric carefully
It goes without saying that each fabric fits and complements a body type differently. Since you want to look the best in a party, you should choose the fabric carefully. If you are looking to add volume to your shape, then consider party dresses in linen, silk, cotton, or satin. However, if you want to slim yourself down and look slender instead, then completely avoid fabrics like satin and choose materials that drape perfectly, such as silk, chiffon, and cotton. You can also consider stretchy fabrics such as spandex and jersey that provide easy fit and comfort, even to plus sizes.
Be comfortable with what you wear
Even if you have found the party dress of your dreams with the perfect neckline and fabric and waist, it has to suit your body type and make you feel confident as well as comfortable. If it fails to achieve that objective, then you have to continue looking until you find one that does. The perfect dress will be the one that is a loud yes in all these departments. Do not compromise your comfort for style as it starts to show on your face and ruins the look. Finding the ideal party dress that suits your body type should also suit your personality.
These handy tips are your go-to starting points if you want to find that dream dress. However, be sure to find your body type before you go on a quest for a dreamy party dress. Once you have that information, it is very easy to find the perfect party dress with the help of these tips.
