Choosing the right gown may be a problem if you do not understand your body shape. There are some designs that fit snugly around a given shape. You can only pull such off if you have the right figure.
A badly fitted/fitting dress will make a normally shapely figure look a bit awkward. So, the need for the perfect fit is universal.
Designers now create dresses that provide a flawless fit for the fashion conscious woman. From petite to the plus size, the options are many.
In creating a chic style, the question to bear in mind is, “Which form of ‘fit’ is best for me? What do I need to emphasize or de-emphasize?”
Remember, narrowing hemlines will emphasize the hips. Fitted bodices and knee-length gowns are flattering while open necklines and short sleeve constructions add an illusion of height.
However, wider sleeve constructions de-emphasize the shoulders while sleek silhouettes offer drama to any occasion.
Since a well-fitting dress offers relief, if you are not comfortable in it, then it is not the best for you.
