Summer Dress, Gowns, Corsets and More: Dress Up According to
Your Body Type
By Lorabella

Women are extremely conscious about their body but not every
woman can dedicate hours of her precious time to the gym and get
a well-sculpted figure. Dressing up those flaws in the body
becomes essential and hence knowing your body type in the first
place is very necessary.

Fashion experts have categorized body types into 6 categories,
which are in turn clubbed under top heavy, and bottom heavy
categories. These 6 categories are: Round, Inverted triangle,
Hourglass, Pear, Diamond and Straight shapes. Let us understand
which style suits each shape.

Round:

This figure accentuates the middle and displays slender legs
and a narrow hip. The lower half of the body is to die for and
hence is the focal point of attention while dressing up. A
slim-fitted A-line skirt will create magic and bring to the fore
your long and slender legs.

A small or busy print on flared outfits for the upper half of
the body will distract attention from a heavier bust.

Inverted Triangle:

Broad shoulders and narrow hips characterize an Inverted
triangle figure. Such women have extremely shapely legs to die
for and should capitalize on this fact while dressing up. Broad
shoulders can be balanced by wearing skirts that flare at the
bottom. It is important to add the necessary volume to the lower
body to balance the upper half. In this way, a curvaceous body
can be shown off.

Hourglass figure:

The waist is the best asset of the Hourglass Figure. Perfectly
balanced upper torsos in conjunction with a shapely lower half
together make a dream figure called Hourglass Figure. It is
necessary to accentuate the waist by wearing belts and tops that
fit right at the waist. Baggy clothes will only camouflage the
curves.

Pear:

Pear-shaped figure give away a shapely waist and a heavier
lower body. While dressing up this type of body, it is essential
to highlight the upper body in order that it looks fuller.
Straight skirts that take attention off the waist are the ones
to look out for and tops with a square neckline will help
projecting the shoulders that are broad. Balance needs to be
created around the bust to project a fuller bust.

Diamond:

A diamond shape differs from the pear as diamond shaped women
are more curvaceous and pear shaped are more proportionate at
that. Diamond shaped women have generous thighs and a broader
bottom. To dress up a diamond shaped women takes more effort in
accentuating the shoulders and the bust. A flirty-sleeved
structured top or a jacket will help in balancing the upper
torso and camouflaging the pitfalls.

Straight:

In this kind of a figure, the width of the upper and the lower
torso is almost equal. It is a pale fissure without a
characteristic bust and a flat bottom. The waist is also almost
undefined. In order to doll up a woman with a straight figure,
long tops with a long neckline and skirts that add volume to the
lower half are essential elements one must have. The most
important guideline here is to provide volume to the hips and
bust in order to look curvaceous.

It is important to know your body type in order to determine
the kind of patterns, and most importantly the kind of fabric
that should be used in your garments. You will only end up
buying the right kind of clothes that accentuate your figure and
in turn your personality.
