Pear Shape

Probably the most common of body types, but the hardest to dress non the less. Larger on the bottom and smaller on the top. Dominated by a larger lower body with big hips can create complications on finding a dress that accentuates the whole body.

Choosing a dress that has lots of detail going on in the upper part of the dress can help create a proportionate look. As for the women who are proud of a little junk in the trunk, you can put more emphasis on the bottom of the dress.

Apple Shape

This body type is a more rounded, center weight type. The hips and shoulders tend to be about the same width, and the legs and arms are slender.

Choosing a dress that has a longer tail, can help bring out a more proportionate figure. Stay away from anything this a hugger type of dress, this will do nothing for your womanly figure.
