Cocktail Party Dresses
In order to wear the right kinds of cocktail party dresses, you need to know what type of body you have and what will look right on that body. Even the most glamorous and expensive cocktail party dresses can look horrible if they are put on the wrong frame. Here is a list of body types, and what those with each body type should consider when shopping for cocktail party dresses:
Hour Glass Body Figure – Many people call this body type sexy and voluptuous, but for whose who have it, they may not always want to be looked at for their curves. If you want to tone things down a little bit, you need to find a cocktail party dress with a little bit of a loose fit. We're not talking about wearing a bag, but something that isn't snug and showing all the details of your curves. You can also draw attention away from the curvy middle by putting jewelry around the neckline to get eyes to look up.
Pear Shaped Body Figure – If you have definite hips, but not as much up top, you are a classic pear shape. The kind of cocktail dress you want is one that takes the attention away from the lower half of your body. Instead, think empire waistlines and padded shoulders to accent the upper portions of the body and downplay the lower part.
Round Body Figure – If the bulk of your body is a little bigger than the average women, you have a round figure. You can either work to get rid of it all, or know how to wear things that still work with your body style. You will need to shop around, but there are many clothing manufacturers who offer more flattering plus-sized clothing options for you to be able to look fashionable and chic, even with a more rounded body type. Instead of tight clothing, think draping. Also draw attention away from your less than perfect parts with jewelry around the neckline.
Straight Body Type – Some people are thin and have little to no shape. These people have boyish-like features and are very thin and straight in appearance. It's time to create visual curves. Look for a dress with a jeweled belt around the middle. The cinching of this belt will add definition to the dress and create the appearance of shape. A wrap top can also aid in adding more curves.
