Short party gowns for ladies of different types of figure

When you choose a short dress for some event, you should take into account the type of your figure. In such a way, you will understand where you need to add volume or make a bright accent, and what parts of your body should be hidden. Stylists divide female figures into 5 types and advise to choose the following designs and styles accordingly:

  • A-type (pear): Typical for this figure type are narrow shoulders and small breast, thin waist and lush hips. Girls with A-type figure should choose models of short dresses with a square or V-neckline and high waistline to balance the top and bottom. The drapery and luxurious trimming of an upper part of dress will look good also. A flared skirt, especially widening from the middle of the thigh, will give you fragility and grace.
