No matter what body shape you have, an
evening dress for your next party or event is a wardrobe staple that should make you look and feel fabulous when you wear it. Whether you want to accentuate your hourglass shape, curvy silhouette or petite figure, you can find
evening dresses for every body type.
- Show off your hourglass figure. If you have an hourglass figure, which is a defined waist and an equal length in the width of the hips and shoulders, look for flowing fabrics. These will skim the body and accentuate the waist. Wrap dresses are one of the best silhouettes, since they tighten around the waist and are loose around the lower stomach and hips. Formal dresses that feature a belt or contrasting fabric around the waist will also be as flattering as wrap dresses.
- Flatter your bust line. If you have a full bust, the best formal dress you can choose is one that has structure and support. Straps should be thick enough to give lift and support to the bust line. To balance out your body shape, choose an A-line dress that accentuates the waist and flows out at the hips to provide proportion to your lower half.
- Create curves. Evening dresses in monochromatic colors work best for women who want to create curves, especially white and light-colored dresses, which accentuate the body's shape. To look curvier, look for a belted party dress or one with gathers or darts at the waistline.
- Give the appearance of long legs. Party dresses in dark colors, such as black, navy blue, chocolate brown, eggplant and forest green, create the illusion of height, and a hem that hits around the knee is ideal to show off the legs. Showing leg and adding a heel are two simple ways to appear taller
