Rounded types

The rounded types look best in something that covers the stomach, as well as any other problem areas. That means that you might look good in jeans or a slimming skirt, but what you wear over it, be it a top or even a short dress will actually cover your tummy and perhaps a larger behind. Two piece dresses look great on such a body type especially if the top part of the dress covers your rounded tummy and behind. Be aware that you should seek a plunging neckline in perhaps a V shape as that will draw the eyes down if you have broad shoulders. An empire-waisted dress will usually look great as it covers up a plethora of body problems.

Diamond types

Those who have a diamond shaped body will need to accentuate their bust and take away from their middle sections. You will want to add balance to yourself by wearing clothing that perhaps has a bit of padding at the shoulder, perhaps in a jacket style of dress. You may wish to emphasize your waist, as if it were smaller, with perhaps a differently colored belt, and you would look great in an empire style dress as well. You also may like to wear pencil skirts with a jacketed top.

Hourglass shapes

Lucky you, for your best fitting dresses will emphasize your hourglass shape. Thus you need to wear a tremendous amount of sheaths which will easily show off your figure. Nipped in waists were simply made for you. Plunging backs to evening dresses will allow the eye to concentrate on your grand figure, as will plunging necklines if you so desire. Ruched waists were also created for you, as shown here in this amazing purple design made especially for a body such as yours.

Rectangular shapes

The lady with a rectangular body is usually very tall and slim. First know that you must draw awareness of your bust line. Next, be sure to choose dresses that have a very full skirt, yet also has a form-fitting bodice for the best illusion of having curves. The ball gown look is probably best for you in the evening wear selections. You should never wear clingy type dresses such as sheaths which will actually take away any hint of curves to your body.

Inverted triangle shapes

This body has expansive shoulders, slender hips, flat bottom and usually has relatively slender limbs. You will need to soften your shoulder's aspect via clothing. The perfect dress for you will not only be soft, but actually can be called draped style wise. Dresses with a raglan sleeve were made for you. Whatever you do, stay away from dresses that have boat necks or halter necks as these will actually accentuate your broad shoulders.

The triangle shape

Actually most women fit this description, thus many different styles are found for this kind of woman. V necklines are perfect for you, as are dresses that have capped sleeves. The V part will bring the eyes down, but the capped sleeves will widen your shoulders. You also cannot go wrong with U shaped necklines, and perhaps a dress that requires a different colored belt will do wonders to emphasize the look of a smaller waist.
