Do many women pay due attention to this issue?! The questions of our customers prompted us to tell you about something that may seem unimportant at first glance, but upon closer examination, turns out to be very complex and requires attention.
When choosing a dress that you want to buy (and any other item of clothing), girls are sometimes completely careless. A captivating print, picturesque embroidery or fashionable cut can completely take your breath away. And since every modern girl feels the desire to have a dress in her closet, or even more than one, often in the pursuit of bright things you can make mistakes: incorrectly placed accents, lack of taste in the image and a clear dissonance between the outfit and your own body.
To reduce the number of mistakes when purchasing goods, as well as help those who are "out of the loop", let's take a closer look at the process of choosing a dress and the principles that should be followed.
The most important factor is, of course, your physique. When determining your own body type, be as careful and objective as possible, because your image and reputation in society are at stake.
The Internet is filled with many different classifications (some more detailed, mostly narrower, standard) in terms of figure type. The following is generally accepted:
- "Hourglass"
- "Pear"
- "Apple"
- "Triangle"
- "Rectangle"
Let's look at each of the five types and tell you what your dress should be like.
"Hourglass".
We hasten to please girls with a similar physique: you are very lucky! The hips and chest are in perfect order and perfectly harmonize, and the pronounced waist is designed to attract all the attention. “With such parameters, dresses of any cut and style will fit you perfectly,” notes Ukrainian designer Anastasia Ivanova. “The only advice: it is better to avoid shapeless and multi-layered clothes, as well as things with a straight cut. Emphasize the waist, it always looks very feminine.” Dresses with a full skirt, a tight bodice and a cinched waist will fit perfectly on the “hourglass figure”. No less attractive are narrow dresses with a “hourglass” skirt, tight-fitting ones with a pencil skirt, with a wide belt or corset in the waist area.
"Pear".
The main task of the owner of this type, whose characteristic features are voluminous hips with a thin waist and narrow shoulders, is to shift the focus of attention to the upper body. Emphasize your own chest with the help of bright colors (the ideal combination is a light top and a dark bottom), decor on the bodice, corsets. Nowadays, dresses decorated with beads, rhinestones or embroidery on the chest are very relevant. Do not forget about the shoulders, which can be expanded with wide V-shaped and square necklines. The best choice for "pears" will be slightly fitted (not tight-fitting) dresses with a straight cut.
"Apple".
This type is characterized by virtually the same volume of the chest, hips and waist, while resembling an elongated letter "O". Our primary task is to visually "lengthen" the body with an emphasis on the legs and chest. The owner of such a figure should first of all try to hide the tummy with the help of various belts and straps (necessarily dark shades). It is not recommended to resort to the services of both tight-fitting and too loose samples. The best options for "apples" are sheath dresses, straight-cut dresses, dresses flared to the bottom with V-shaped necklines. Various kinds of geometric ornaments will be very appropriate.
"Triangle".
If in the case of "pears" we drew attention and added volume to the upper part of the body, now we are doing the exact opposite, because we are talking about an inverted triangle (broad shoulders, narrow hips). For girls of this type, popularly called sporty, dresses with a tight top and a lush bottom will be ideal, for example, a pleated skirt, pleated skirt or the one that is currently in trend - a tulip skirt. Try to follow the rule: dark top, light bottom.
"Rectangle".
This type is characterized by masculine features and straight lines. The chest, hips and waist are expressed approximately equally. “With such a figure, you should emphasize the chest and hips, as well as mark the waist line. This type is corrected with the help of wide belts, dresses with corset lines,” shares her opinion A. Ivanova, “Dresses with a pattern that visually makes the waist thinner, as well as models of dresses with volume in the hip area (for example, a tulip skirt or a peplum) are suitable.” If your chest is small, you should give preference to patterns all over the dress.
