When prom season rolls around, finding the perfect prom dress can be a difficult task. While there’s no such thing as one-size-fits all prom
- If you have an apple shape, look for prom dresses with an empire waistline or A-line cut. These styles emphasize your narrow waist and draw attention away from your midsection. Try pairing an empire waist silhouette with a V-neckline to create a flattering neckline and draw the eye upward. Floor length gowns are also a great option for this body type. Avoid dresses with lots of details in the mid section.
- For pear shapes, opt for prom dresses in A-lines or fit-and-flare cuts. These styles help balance out your lower body, creating a more balanced look overall. Off-the-shoulder styles or V-neck are also great options for this body type.
- Strapless prom dresses are great for hourglass figures as they show off your waist and curves. Look for prom dresses that have cinching at the waist to further emphasize your curves in all the right places. Avoid wide neck gowns or dresses with high waist lines.
- Slender body types should look for scoop neck or sweetheart neck dresses that will add curves. Avoid loose fitting styles that cover up your figure rather than accentuating it.
- If you’re tall, try prom dresses with intricate detailing around the chest or neckline, as this will draw attention up instead of down towards your legs.
- If you’re petite, however, look for prom dresses with short hemlines that won’t overwhelm your frame. Styles like high-low prom dresses can add length to an otherwise short stature while still looking sophisticated. Be sure to avoid dresses with boxy cuts or shift dresses.
- For athletic builds, prom dresses with bold and bright prints can flatter your shape. Try prom dresses with a shapely skirt or off-the-shoulder styles to emphasize your toned arms and shoulders.
