The majority of us DON’T have the perfect airbrushed bodies of those we continually see in the magazines……….
To show off your figure choose ball dresses or formal ball gowns that highlight your assets. Here are a few tips on how to do that.
If you stand 1.9 metres in bare feet
- Try – Lucky you, most ball dresses and formal ball gowns styles will flatter you. To show off your long legs try a full length dress perhaps with a front or side split.
- Avoid – Little frilly ball dresses.
If you have large breasts
- Try – V neck dress ball dresses or formal ball gowns but DON’T show too much cleavage and make sure you wear a supportive bra.
- Avoid – Shoe string straps.
If you have big hips and would like to make them look smaller
- Try - Full-skirted ball dresses or formal ball gowns like the classic ball gown like Cinderella’s ball dress. An Empire line ball dress or any formal ball gown that draws the focus upward. With this style, eyes will be off your hips -- and on your slender waist. Remember, you don't have big hips: You've got killer curves!
- Avoid - Sheath style ball dresses and formal ball gowns and other super fitted styles, or V-necks, which lead the eye downward.
If you would like to flatten out your tummy
- Try – An empire line ball gown which will give you a long, slim look. Try a formal ball gown with a corset-style bodice, which will emphasize your bust.
- Avoid - Princess cut ball dresses or formal gowns and sheaths which will draw attention to your midsection, sashes and horizontal stripes.
If you are heavy in the arms
- Try - Ball dresses or formal ball gowns with short sleeves, off-the shoulder necklines, or see-through lace sleeves which will camouflage your upper arms. Look for a dress that has a sweetheart neckline, which will draw attention to your bust instead of your arms. If you want a strapless dress try a wrap.
- Avoid - Sleeveless, strapless, and spaghetti-strap ball dresses.
If you are short and want to look taller
- Try - A-line ball dresses or formal ball gowns with a fitted sheath. Keep it simple, and these silhouettes will help you add some length.
- Avoid - Big formal ball gowns, shoes with ankle straps
If you have a big booty and want to hide it
- Try - Strapless formal ball gowns or ball dresses or any other full-skirted style. A corset-style or another type of fitted bodice dress.
- Avoid - Sheath style ball dresses or formal ball gowns or anything made with mega-clingy material.
If you want to make your bust appear larger
- Try - Ball dresses or formal ball gowns that has detail in the bust eg gathering, ruching or beading.
