A dress is probably the surest way to feel like a real woman. The dress is very important. Depending on the silhouette, you may need to slow down and straighten your back. Often you need to do styling and makeup. In a dress, it will be inconvenient to do many, initially masculine things, which for some reason we sometimes hang on ourselves. Therefore, you just have to turn to men for help and remember your femininity and weakness. How to choose a dress so that it is perfect for you?
HOW TO CHOOSE A DRESS BY THE TYPE OF THE FIGURE?
You have probably heard that female figures can be divided into 5 types:
1) “hourglass” 2) “rectangle” 3) “apple” 4) “inverted triangle” or “pear” 5) “triangle” 6) “Cheap Quinceanera Dresses”.
Here you also need to take into account the ratio of adipose and muscle tissue, because these types of figures are inherent in both thin people and women with forms.
If you belong to the first type, then you have a well-defined waist, as well as prominent shoulders and hips. This is the unspoken ideal of the female body, where everything is proportional. And in principle, you can wear any dress. But still, give preference to those models that emphasize your natural curves. This is a fitted silhouette, models with belts, dresses – trapeze. Use what you have!
Rectangle-shaped women have little or no waist, but often long and slender legs. It is necessary to maintain the harmony of the shoulders and hips and visually narrow the waist. To do this, accentuate either the bottom or the top. Choose models with puffed sleeves, dresses with open shoulders, wrap dresses, short fitted dresses with a full skirt, A-line models, dresses with a voluminous top and a tight pencil skirt.
The “apples” do not have a pronounced waist and may have a tummy. Their advantage is a large chest. They fit many of the models for the figure “rectangle”. We emphasize the dignity and visually stretch the figure – A-silhouette, dresses with a V-neck, plain dresses with vertical darts, an asymmetric cut are suitable. Avoid both too tight and too voluminous dresses.
Pears have narrow shoulders and a waist and wide hips. Shift the focus to the upper body – pay attention to models with overhead, voluminous or open shoulders, sleeveless, with a boat neckline. The Empire model to the floor will look elegant. Avoid bright colors and prints on the bottom of the dress, as well as massive belts on the hips.
The “inverted triangle” figure, on the contrary, is broad shoulders and narrow hips. Usually such women also have long, slender legs. So, we select the hips and legs and visually reduce the shoulders. A-line dresses, V-necklines, peplum dresses, bright colors and prints on the bottom of the dress will help with this. Avoid models with a boat neckline, puffy shoulders and puffy sleeves.
HOW TO CHOOSE A DRESS BY FABRIC TYPE?
Give preference to high-quality natural fabrics. Even the best style will not save if the fabric is cheap. For spring and summer, breathable cotton, natural silk and linen are suitable, for autumn and winter – wool, cashmere, viscose linen, dense silk fabrics.
Plus size women should choose fabrics that hold their shape well. These are, for example, dense knitwear and wool. Avoid velveteen, velvet and linen, they will only add volume. The simpler the cut, the more interesting the material should be, and vice versa. Look for balance, although sometimes it is on the verge.
