Whether you’re searching for the perfect prom, pageant, or homecoming dress, there are so many factors that go into making a decision! One of the questions we at WhatchamaCallit get asked a lot is, “Which silhouette should I choose?” Today, we’re going to talk a little bit about how to find the perfect silhouette to enhance your figure!
Hourglass-shaped people have a relatively even waist, hips, and shoulders. A mermaid dress will flatter this body type, since it's designed to emphasize your curves.
If your hips are larger than your shoulders, you may also be called a pear shape. The body type is best suited to A-line silhouettes since it has most of its volume in the lower half.
If your shoulders are wider than your hips, you have an inverted triangle shape. Having a full, fluttering skirt makes a ball gown a great silhouette for this type of body. A ball gown accentuates your proportions by adding volume to your lower half.
Those with a rectangle body type have uniform hips, shoulders, busts, and waists. Fit and flare silhouettes, A-line dresses, and ball gowns can highlight curves on this body type.
If you have a curvy figure and a less defined waistline, you probably have an apple body type. For apple-shaped bodies, A-line dresses are a good option.
