Which dress to choose according to your body shape?
The dress is the garment that suits all body types and can highlight the body of all women.
However, it is important to know your body shape in order to dress accordingly and to be able to enhance your outfit.
A-shaped morphology
A woman with this body shape has a narrower shoulder than her hips, and her pants size is larger than her bust.
In this case, opt for dresses that are fitted at the top and widen towards the bottom, such as trapeze and empire dresses.
Straight dresses can also be suitable for this body type.
To avoid: dresses that are too tight and striped.
V-shaped morphology
Characterized as a sporty silhouette, the shoulders are wider than the hips, so the pants size is smaller than the jackets. For this morphology, the choice of dresses is very diverse. You can wear flowing, tight, straight or trapeze dresses.
It is best to opt for a dress with a V-neck or sweetheart neckline to slim the shoulders.
To avoid: strapless dresses, turtlenecks or shoulder pads, which could accentuate your build.
X and 8 morphology
The Morphology 8 differs from the X by its voluptuous curves, however these two silhouettes remain similar,
the build and hips are equal and the waist is marked.
Women with this body shape are lucky to be able to wear any dress they want:
tight, fitted, frilly, ruffled dresses,...
To avoid: dresses that are not fitted or too wide, which will not show off your figure.
H-shaped morphology
The H body shape is characterized by shoulders and hips in the same alignment without the waist being marked.
When a woman has this figure, the main thing is to create the illusion of a waist, so we will favor straight, flowing and empire dresses with a belt that we wear on the hips.
To avoid: Any dress that does not emphasize the waist.
O-shaped morphology
The woman with an O-shaped body has curves: generous chest, rounded stomach, round shoulders, etc.
To highlight this silhouette, you should opt for straight, flowing dresses with a neckline.
To avoid: large prints, long stripes, and tight dresses that will accentuate your volume instead of making it harmonious and flattering.
