If you’re looking for a wedding guest look, don’t miss these tips to find the party dress that best suits your figure. Show off your body and style!

 

In month that many couples prefer to get married since the heat starts to go down, but it still doesn’t feel as cold as in winter. If you are one of those who are in the dilemma of what to wear for that important ceremony that you have scheduled, today I have many options for you, and the best thing is that it depends on your body shape . It is not enough to choose a beautiful party dress , if it does not suit you, you will not be 100%. There is nothing better than enhancing your figure and looking spectacular.

You’ve probably heard of the five female body types (triangular, inverted triangle, rectangular, oval and hourglass), each one has different characteristics, however, not all rectangular girls, for example, are the same, each person has different measurements and characteristics, which make us unique. So today we will talk in more detail and thus you will have a clearer idea to choose the party dress for guests  that best suits you and highlights your attributes. Let’s get started!

1. The triangular body type

Also known as a “pear” shape, this is the classic Latin body type . The shoulders are smaller than the hips. So, here we must enhance the upper part to balance it with the lower area. A dress where the detail focuses on this area is the most recommended. If you wear a dress with sleeves, it is better to choose one that has ruffles, applications, or other details that draw attention, such as lace, rhinestones, among others. An off-shoulder neckline will also make our shoulders stand out.

Some recommendations:

• If you have a short neck, avoid very high or round necklines, a V-neck is the best option.
• If your legs are very thick, wear an A-line dress to hide this area.
• If you have thick arms, an off-shoulder dress with flare can help. Remember to define your waist.
• If you have a small bust, a halterneck dress is an excellent option.

 

 

2. The inverted triangle body type

It is the opposite of the triangular shape, here the shoulders are prominent and the hips narrow. The objective then is to enhance the lower part to create the effect of curves and hips . A simple, dark-colored dress on the upper part is safer, it is better to focus attention with details (ruffles, folds, bobs, pleats, etc.), and lighter colors on the hips.

Some recommendations:

• The peplum cut is an ally as it will create a curvy silhouette.
• If you have a prominent bust, always remember to highlight your waist so that the lower area does not look too heavy.
• A good idea is to opt for a short dress  where the top is tight and flat, and the skirt is quite flared.
• If you are super thin or athletic, you can opt for a tight-fitting dress. A few pleats around the hips or a belt will be enough to define that area.

 

 

 

3. The rectangular body type

These women have very similar measurements in the shoulders, waist and hips. What we are looking for here is to define the waist and create a silhouette with curves . So there is nothing better than belts, pleats and flared and A-line cuts to create them.

Some recommendations:

• Short, flared dresses will also help us create curves.
• If you are very thin, avoid dark colors or classic black, instead opting for prints or vibrant colors. Also remember that loose, flowing fabrics will help create a rounded silhouette.

4. The hourglass body type

It corresponds to shoulders and hips with very similar measurements, and a small waist. If this is your definition, congratulations, because  almost everything will suit you , we just have to dare to try new proposals to look different and pay attention to some details, which we will see below.

Some recommendations:

• If you want to minimize a large bust, use a V-neck to stylize that area, never a high neck.
• If you are thin, avoid wearing a loose dress, it is better to highlight the waist. For this, a mermaid cut dress  will be the best.
• If you are of a thick build, you can wear a tight dress on top and a slight A-line cut on the bottom for a more stylized figure.

5. The oval body type

It is the rounded figure and what we are looking for is to enhance the pretty parts of the body and conceal the ones we want to hide. Then a dress with a V-neckline will be the best alternative . In addition, the empire cut  will help us conceal a prominent abdomen. As for colors and prints , a single-color dress will make you look very stylish. If you opt for a printed one, make sure it has small motifs and dark colors.

Some recommendations:

• Remember that your dress should not be too tight or too loose. It is best if it is made to measure to highlight your silhouette.
• Use smooth, soft and flowing textures.
• Avoid wearing belts. Empire cut is the best option.
