A Ball, Prom or Party is one of the best opportunities to get dressed up and to look and feel your best. We highlight some great ways to find the best Prom, Party, Ball or Evening dress for your shape.
Athletic - Make shoulders appear narrower by wearing strapless party, prom, ball or evening dresses, lowcut backs and spaghetti straps. Opt for a flared style skirt to balance out wider shoulders. Keep the bust area fitted and if you want detail or embellishment stick to the lower half. Short party or prom dresses, low waist dresses and sheath dresses (tight around the hips) and halternecks will look amazing on you.
Curvy or Hour Glass - Highlight your slim waist using party, prom or evening dresses that nip in at the waist, belts or sashes. Go for plain styles without patterns and avoid clingy or stiff materials such as taffeta instead opt for quality fabrics that skim and drape over your curves. Opt for straight or A line dresses that are fairly fitted around the bust and waist.
No Waist - Wear V neck party, prom, ball or evening dresses to elongate your torso. Avoid belts, sashes or detail around the waist area. Look for dresses which have vertical seam, long scarves or any vertical lines as these will help elongate the body. Skirts that flare at the hip and low waisted dresses will look great on you. Keep the design of the dress simple and avoid decoration on the top half of the dress.
Pear Shape - Wear party, prom, ball or evening dresses with open necklines and some detail on the top half. Avoid horizontal lines especially on the hip and skirt area. Opt for tops that are moderately fitted at the waist or empire lines that are fitted around the bust and flare out over waist and hips. A line skirts will also look great on pear shapes.
