The hourglass body looks best in clothing that emphasizes the waist because the shoulders and hips are of equal size. For example, form-fitting materials and cinched waists will draw the focus onto those sexy Marilyn Monroe curves while simultaneously accentuating the middle area. And in terms of necklines–the oval, square, and v-necklines are perfect for complimenting this figure. This is why we can't recommend these four body-contouring dresses enough for our hourglass girlies; they're fun, flirty, feminine, and will even give you a chance to show off some leg while you're at it! All dresses feature a zipper closure for extra convenience and a most-flattering fit. 

Where are our petite fashionistas at? For those with a smaller frame and shorter height, we have just the looks for you. But first, we need to set the record straight: in order to create the illusion of longer legs, you'll want to show off your legs with mini/short-length styles. And what's better than floral prints and lace for the spring? Absolutely nothing! Here's another tip while we're at it: vertical patterns and monochromatic outfits with similar color schemescan also create a similar, elongated look.

The apple body shape is characterized by a larger upper body, a less-defined waistline, and narrow hips/legs. If this is you and you want to know how to dress to impress, we recommend either a wide or low neckline and some flattering sleeves to draw attention away from the midsection ...which is exactly where wrap dresses and flowy fabrics come in! Because the ideal outfit for an apple body shape should create a visual illusion of a more defined waistline, these gorgeous dresses will only enhance the body's natural curves and assets by fitting around the bust. Also, layering can be a great way to create a balanced look! 

The rectangle shape is a body type with roughly equal hips, waist, and bust. People with this body type typically have a straighter silhouette, which is why creating the illusion of curves is key in styling. The ideal outfit for the rectangle shape will highlight the waist, add dimension to the body frame, and give the appearance of an hourglass figure–we’re talking rompers and dresses with belts/ties and bodysuits paired with high-waisted pants. Not to mention that any details of draping and gathering in the fabric can add volume to create curves in all the right places! So if you fall into this category, you can be sure you'll rock these off-the-shoulder looks wherever you go!
