The Perfect Dress that Works on ALL Shapes!

We all come in different shapes and sizes but we ALL want to have that perfect body…at least faking it! The key is know how to dress to flaunt your assets you’ve got and downplay anything you’re less than  thrilled about.  Not sure what your body type is?  You can either google it or take a look at the brief descriptions below.  I did all the legwork for you already to save you some time 🙂  Here are the most common body shapes.

The Banana (aka Flute) body shape is when you are straight from shoulders to ankles. Think Gwyneth Paltrow.  Adding layers and volume should enhance your femininity.

The Apple body shape is when your middle area is wider with smaller legs.  Think Jessica Simpson.  Look for items like v-necks to elongate your body, mini skirts that sit on the hips to give you a visual balance or blocky heels and trapeze dresses to enhance your legs.

The Hourglass body shape has fuller top, small waist and curvy hips.  Think Kim Kardashian.  Look for high waisted pants to accentuate that small waist, feminine light weight tops that define your waist without adding bulk, and pencil skirts to capture your curves.

The Pear (aka Dewdrop) body shape is when you are curvy in the thighs and butt but small in the top.  Think Alicia Keys.  The key with this body shape is to put the spotlight on your slender waist or add statement necklaces to play up your dainty upper body.

I also curated some looks for your shape by using the same LBD, a closet staple.

Banana shape:   I selected a wide waist belt to create the illusion of curves and these sexy lace up booties add a shapely quality to the boyish frame.

Apple shape:  A boyfriend blazer can skims your midsection stylishly.  Add statement bracelets to attract attention and draw the eye downward.  And these beautiful chunky heels will enhance your legs.

Hourglass shape: To not add bulk to your curvaceous figure look for thin knit sweaters/cardigans like this one to define your waist.

Pear shape:  Add a skinny belt to put the spotlight on your slender waist.  The statement necklace will play up your dainty upper along with these slim, pointy-toed heels will lend a lightness to your lower half.
