Which evening dresses are full of different types of figures, and which are dangerous for everyone

stylist, founder of the women’s club INclub

Of course, there are dresses that can disfigure any figure. That’s a fact. But still, general recommendations are not quite right. For each type of figure there will be a different stop-list. Take it as a gift for the New Year and be beautiful in any weight.

New Year’s Eve is upon us, and that means most women are already concerned about choosing a festive outfit. If you are among them, it’s great – one less problem! The only thing left to figure out is whether your choice creates additional problems….

For example, examine the dress for harmful effects. Sometimes we do not notice that the thing does not present the figure in the best light. By paying attention to it in time, you can change your choice to a better one or just tweak some small nuances.

It is important to present your figure correctly

If you still haven’t decided on an outfit, this stop-list is a New Year’s Eve gift. Arm yourself and be beautiful.

When choosing a dress, it’s important to know your body type. There are areas that need to be veiled. There are those that should be emphasized. The main rule when buying any thing – do not harm your natural beauty. To begin with, let’s look at the general contraindications. Then let’s move on to the private ones.

Too tight

The logic here is often such – if the dress is tiny, then I look tiny in it. The numbers on the label are also comforting. Size 44 is much less embarrassing than size 48… But these are just numbers.

From the outside, this cleverness does not look clever. It’s eye-catching. You don’t look slimmer. Do not be guided by numbers, rely on the feeling and look at your reflection in the mirror.

Ashley Graham’s goal is to emphasize lushness. Is that what you want?

You need to be comfortable. It’s important that nothing stings or pulls. If you want to look visually slimmer, there should be a distance between your body and your clothes. Let there be some air. This will give you the opportunity to hide something from the relief area and create the desired effects by playing with imaginary volumes.

If you are a fan of “cases”, bet on a dense fabric. Thin synthetics will play a cruel trick on your figure. It will show what should be hidden. Choose models of quality materials. The fabric should unobtrusively accompany the silhouette.

Too loose

The trend for oversize is in force, but no one canceled the sense of proportion. Shapeless hoodies haven’t adorned anyone yet. Your oversize should be proportionate to the actual size of your clothes, your height and the scale of your facial features.

Steer clear of black hoodies. They haven’t adorned anyone yet

Also, don’t forget to keep all over-size styles fitted. This will add grace and emphasize feminine curves. If they are not, this technique will allow you to visually approach the figure “hourglass”.

Unsuccessful in length

Do not choose dresses ending at the widest place of the leg – hips or shins. In this case, the hem will play the role of horizontal and emphasize or even increase this zone. When trying on dresses, pay attention to this point. Determine your most graceful places and look for appropriate lengths.

With dangerous prints and decorations

Not only the style of the dress plays a role. Special effects need to be considered, too. An unsuccessful print can spoil even a very successful model. The most dangerous option – horizontal stripes. It is especially important not to place them in active areas.

If you want to widen the hips, the stripes will come in handy

A more successful geometry will be a vertical stripe. Its size and color should be chosen based on personal settings: the scale of appearance and color. You can also consider the element of “inverted herringbone”.

Ruches and flounces – an opportunity to make the bust more lush

Voluminous decor – ruffles, flounces, feathers – do not apply thoughtlessly. Do not place such details in places of special accumulation of volumes. This will attract attention and visually expand the area even more. This technique should be used by girls who have the opposite task – to make some area lush.

Bright and shiny

Excessively bright colors, sequins and rhinestones create a luminous field around themselves. This creates the illusion of volume. Of course, most often undesirable. Only a very thin girl who suffers from her subtility will be happy with this option.

All others better to abandon neon colors in favor of calm tones. It is also worth remembering that light colors expand, and dark colors can narrow the space. And this is not about black color. In fact, the best way to cope with this task is blue.

Shine will always expand. Banal optics

To all of the above, too, it is worth approaching individually. For example, understand which area a glitter or print will hurt less, which more. But there are also completely private moments – related to the type of figure (fullness).

If the problem is at the bottom

If the hem of the dress is puffy and made of dense fabric, your hips will seem three times bigger. This is especially dangerous for those who have this zone in the category of active (especially prominent). It is better not to emphasize it.

When the hips are slender (especially when very), such options, on the contrary, are shown. A lush skirt will round them off, making the figure more feminine.

Puffy skirts and basques – a choice for slim hips

The same applies to dresses with basques. They should be chosen by the owners of figures: “inverted triangle”, “rectangle”, “column” and “apple”. Expressed “pears” (narrow shoulders / wide hips) and “hourglass” (top and bottom are noticeably pronounced), choosing them will only draw more attention to the problem area.

If the problem is at the top

The American armhole is the most dangerous style for owners of massive shoulders and arms. It exposes these areas, accentuating them. If you are not satisfied with the state of these parts of the body, it is better to leave the dress with American armhole to the best fitness times.

For girls who work on their triceps and want to show the world the results of training, such a dress is shown.

Is there a waist

The waist should always be emphasized where it appears. Especially if it is pronounced. A low-waisted style can turn the figure into a rectangle, enlarge the upper torso and shorten the legs.

Octavia Spencer – the owner of a gorgeous waistline

If your figure type is “full apple”, give up the belt on the waist. Just throw away this accessory. You will be uncomfortable with it, and… In general, it is not necessary. Only emphasize the lack of waist. And it’s not the only area of the body worthy of emphasis. Shift the attention to the magnificent bust or slender legs. Use dresses with open neckline and high waist.

Here’s what happens when Octavia ignores her waist.

The main admonition is to remember that the best solution is individual. The perfect dress can be picked up only taking into account your parameters: natural coloring, figure type, body lines and height. Happy shopping and happy New Year!
