Find the Perfect Summer Dress for your Body Shape

Summer Time is here!
Women do not come in cookie cutter shapes and their beauty is in their uniqueness. When it comes to finding sundresses that enhances each body type, that uniqueness can sometimes be a hindrance. On average there are five main body shapes. Each silhouette requires a different style of summer dress to accentuate their assets and hide their flaws. Women of all shapes can find flattering summer dresses by following a few simple rules and accessorizing well

Rectangle/Brick Body Shape should focus on femininity and the illusion of curves when shopping for summer dresses. Adding volume mixed with feminine accessories will highlight the female form of a woman with a boyish body shape. Pleats, ruffles, and flowing fabric are simple ways to add volume to sundresses. Add a belt to make the impression of a curvy waist and some beautiful feminine accessories like high heels and jewelry. Summer dresses with interesting necklines, such as a trapezoid or a V shape can add curve and shape to a smaller bust. Avoid rounded collars and tight fitting dresses that emphasize the small size of the bust.

Curvaceous Body Type Women with generous curve need to avoid bringing attention to problem areas and accentuate their curves. Fluid fabrics and long silhouettes work best with this body type. Summer dresses that are too form fitting or stretchy will emphasize problem areas without showing off assets. Accessories are essential to any look and curvaceous girls cannot afford to be without a great pair of heels. Small prints add flair without being over the top and interesting neck lines show off curves in the right way. Leggings can add interest and length to a woman with a large bottom and bust. Leggings work well with flowing blouses or sundresses.

Petite Body Type
 Looking long and lean is something to strive for as a petite female. Short, structured summer dresses with high heels are the perfect option to add that illusion of length. Avoid sundresses with ample cuts or too much fabric. A petite woman will get lost in a flowing maxi dress but will stand tall in an asymmetrical cut dress. Accessories that are too big will over power a petite woman. Long scarves and necklaces can add length to petite women when paired with short summer dresses.

Top Heavy/Apple Body Type
The top heavy woman has a generous chest and slim hips and legs. This type of woman should draw attention to her assets with short sundresses. V-shaped necklines slim a large bust and hemlines above the knee show off legs. Simple lines and simple accessories are essential to a top heavy woman’s closet. Busy prints, boat necks, square necks and belts worn to high should be avoided by the top heavy woman as they only accentuate the width of the bust. Pear Shape Body Type

Pear Body Shape should look for sundresses that emphasize the bust and are slim through the hips. Women who are slim on top and have large hips are considered pear-shape and should avoid summer dresses that are straight cut or tight fitting. Interesting necklines accentuate the bust while a flared skirt with make the hips look narrower.

Fun fabrics and bright colors and accessoriz with hats, sunglasses, jewellery, sandals.
