The Most Flattering Dresses for Every Body Type
Finding a piece of flattering clothing often means knowing your body type and what looks good on it. Afterall, body types are different. For example, what looks good on a woman who’s tall and lean, might not look good on a woman who’s petite and curvy. However, there is a dress to suit every body type. So no matter if you’re long and lean, short and fine boned, hourglass shaped, pear-shaped, or apple shaped, look to the following dress styles for your particular body type: 1. Little black dresses In the 1920s Coco Chanel introduced the little black dress to fashion. They have gone through changes over the years, sometimes much more “little” than others, but they have never gone out of style. These dresses silhouette the pear-shaped, small waisted body, and hide the lower body, depending on the length. Traditionally it has a fitted bodice and a fuller a-line skirt though, over time, styles have changed. This dress seems to be timeless and is always fashionable. 2. The wrap dress This dress may have the best design of any dress ever made. It stays in fashion because it flatters almost any body type that exists. It highlights the waist and bust, hides bulges, and causes curves to seem to appear out of nowhere.
