Here's some help picking a dress that will flatter you.Hourglass shape: To accent your curves, go for a dress with a basque silhouette (it comes
to a "V" at the waist) that flows into a full skirt.
Short waist: The princess shape, which is fitted at the bodice and then gradually
opens up to a full skirt, will elegantly elongate your figure.
Undefined waist: A dress with a high empire waist will minimize emphasis on the
waistline and still give you a long, lean look.
Full figure: To camouflage full arms, try a dress with long, tapered sleeves. A V-shaped waist will de-emphasize full hips.
Pear-shaped figure: A bodice with detailing on top will balance out a full lower
body. A good choice is a strapless gown with some type of decoration at the edge.
Petite: It's best to keep it simple. A big, elaborate gown can be overpowering.
A sheath dress is a good choice; its slim shape will not overshadow you and it
can actually make you look taller.
Great legs: Don't be afraid to show them off -- wear something above the knee. Go with a simple short sheath or something with a full skirt.
