How do you feel when you set on your eyes on that smashing dress in the store and you get it on your body, and you find out it doesn't fit? If that has happened to you so many times then you're probably not picking the right dress for your body size and type.

First, you have to know the type of body types there are;

1. Apple shaped body

2. Pear shaped body

3. Rectangular shaped body

4. Hourglass shape

Apple shaped body



Apple shaped bodies look better on clothes that draw attention from their mid-section to neck. Waist dresses and tops are best clothes for Apple shaped figures.

Clothes that cover the whole body, and the entire belly area are perfect, hips should be more displayed with these kind of clothes to balance out the shape from top to below.

Note that belts should be taken below the bust instead of using them on waist level, it's better to highlight more curved than waist.

Pear shaped body



Pear shapes look better on clothes that outline the shoulders more to broaden the upper body. Ornamentals on the heck can help or scarves can do the trick also. Embellished dresses too should be a go go, bateau neckline, caps too are splendid match ups for pear shaped figures.

Avoid tight clothes, runaway from them. Right Capri pants or pencil skirts should be avoided to lessen the extent at which the lower body broadens past the upper body. Wearing bigger linens and a line skirts instead of tight ones, and remember light colours for the upper and darker colours for the lower. In this way you call attention to the best part of your body.

Rectangular body shape



Rectangular body shapes don't actually need much;

• Wear belts are the narrowest part of the waist to point them out.

• Wear mid section tops more, ruffled tops should do the trick to outline your shoulders and upper body.

• Breast supportive underwears and waist enhancers can be utilized.

Remember the goal is to look similar to an hourglass shape, so the main point of attention is the waist. Narrow it more and you're good to go!

Hourglass shape



I'd say hourglass shapes are the luckiest, just a few rules and you'd be stunningly touchè in your dress. Main depicted points should be the hip region, busts and height if necessary.

Pick clothes that would shape out your busts more, such as V necks and pencil skirts should line out the curves. Avoid the use of cupped or padded bras that would make your breast look saggy.

This way you'd add more finesse to your style and top up your confidence level.
