"Well, what is my figure?"
Let's start with the classification of figures, invented a long time ago and not by us.
- "Hourglass"
This is, of course, the most feminine option, whichalmost all men like it. Thin waist, rounded hips, good bust. Almost all styles suit a woman with such lucky parameters. A straight, tapered, or full skirt will look great. The waist should be emphasized everywhere and always. Tight dresses will reveal all the advantages. In a word, it will not be difficult for the owner of such a figure to choose a dress.
- "Triangle"
Women with this figure have narrow shoulders and are quitemassive hips. When choosing a dress, you need to take this into account and try to choose a style that will shift the accents and make the silhouette more proportional. Stylists recommend dresses with wide-set straps, lantern sleeves. In short, you need to give preference to styles with a voluminous top, made of light, flowing fabrics that drape well. This will help balance the top and bottom and always look attractive.
- "Inverted Triangle"
Here we have the exact opposite.previous figure variant: broad shoulders and relatively narrow hips. How to choose a dress with such proportions? Naturally, you need to visually narrow the shoulders and add a little volume to the hips to achieve the necessary balance. When choosing a dress with straps, you should give preference to those models in which the straps are located closer to the neck, or dresses with one open shoulder. Asymmetry works great in such a situation. Styles with a low waist are also good.
- "Rectangle"
In this case, the shoulders and hips are approximately the samewidth, the waist is weakly expressed, in general, a male figure type. But do not be upset. The vast majority of well-known models have exactly these proportions. They are easy to sew and you can adapt any style, placing the right accents. So every woman with such a figure has great opportunities for choosing dresses. Wrap styles are very good, with the help of which you can create the illusion of a thin waist. Outfits with a slightly high or low waistline also look great. If you choose a straight silhouette (this, by the way, is not the most advantageous option for this type of figure), you can correct the shape with a wide belt. Visually, the waist will seem thinner than it actually is.
How to choose a dress after all?
It is clear that the classification given above,nothing more than a scheme, in which it is simply impossible to “fit” all the variations of the female figure – we are unique. But still, there is a rational grain in these descriptions. Before going to the store, carefully study yourself in front of the mirror, trying to be as objective as possible. No, there can be no talk of any underestimations, but disadvantages, as well as advantages, however, must be clearly defined.

So, if you have full arms, then dresses with straps, which always look chic, are better for you to wear with a pashmina or bolero. And for regular, everyday outfits, it is preferable to choose sleeves up to the elbow or three-quarters. Short legs will seem much longer if you wear a dress with a slightly high waist. Empire styles are also ideal. Too narrow shoulders that contrast with the hips can be easily corrected with small shoulder pads. A short or too full neck will look completely different if your dress has a V-neck. Another little trick: long necklaces, chains, etc. How to choose a dress if the lady is plump?
