The Perfect Dress for You

Okay so today's blog is going to answer the classic question..
What kind of dress looks best on me?

Well to find this out, fist of all you need to know what your body shape is.
Yes, there is different body shapes and yes, there are clothes made for them out there.
If designer's only made clothes to fit the girls that make walk the runway...
they wouldn't make any money.

Now, there are 4 basic body shapes and how you can tell which one you are (3/4 are named after fruits which i think is funny!):



There is the Pear
___________________________________________________________
-your top half is smaller than your lower half.
- a.k.a little boobs, big butt.
- if you gain wait it goes straight to your thighs

The Apple
____________________________________________________________
-your top half is BIGGER than your bottom half
-a.k.a big boobs, no butt
-if you gain weight it goes to your waistline

The Banana (bet you never heard of that one haha) also called the "rectangle"
_____________________________________________________________
-your figure is straight up and down, may have some curves but they aren't defined
-a.k.a the "model" figure (no boobs, no butt)
- if you gain weight it would go straight to the little curves you do have.

The Hourglass
_____________________________________________________________
-your top half and bottom half are the same measurement and you waist is little
-a.k.a the curvy body (big boobs, big butt)
-if you gain weight it is evenly distributed through out your body


OKAY! So now that you know what body type you are now I can set you up with the perfect dress. Lets start in order shall we?

If you are a Pear:
A-lined dresses or wrap dresses are the best for a pear shaped person.
An A-line dress will flow away from your thighs (the biggest part of your body) and if it has an empire waist line (which most A-lines do) then it will show off your small waist. Wrap dresses are the same, they flow away from your thighs and show off your waist.
Here is an example of a A-lined LBD (little black dress) a pear shaped person could wear:


If you are an Apple:
Girls who are apple shapped usaully have nice legs. So to show them off, skirts or dress that are 1-5 inches above the knee will work. A-lined dresses also look good on apples as well. But unlike a pear, apples can wear tulip skirt dress or pencil skirts to show off there little thighs. If your and apple and looking for the perfect dress, keep in mind that gathering under the breast line will draw attention to your waist, which is a good thing. That way people won't stare at your large upper half and that's it.

If you are a Banana :
Well, there really isn't anything you CAN'T wear. Just about any type of dress will look good on you that is why most models are "Bananas" haha. However there are dress that look better on you. For example a large waist band on a skirt can help create curves. A dress with a dropped waist also looks good.

If you are an Hourglass:
Again there really isn't a dress you can't wear and it won't look good. The types of dresses that look best are dresses with a pencil skirt or dresses that hug your curves. You also want to look for a dress that will give you a smooth fit in the waist and hips.

So if you didn't know what body shape you were or what would be the perfect dress for you? Well now you do :)

A-line look good on almost ANY body type!
