Their team prepared 5 tips on what to look for when buying a dress for a specific body type:

• If you are big-busted consider choosing something that ties up the back (like dresses Khaleesi or Eclipse); has a cowl neck and adjustable spaghetti straps (Aspen), and/or a gown or a dress that has a stretchy material (Stardust Gown).

• If you are tall opt for wearing a midi or a maxi, they were practically meant for tall women. (like Ellie Velvet Wrap Dress & the Brienne Dress).

• If you are plus size consider choosing a higher quality fabric with stretch, high-waisted with a flattering A-Line design, and/or has some ruching around the waist area to hide any trouble spots (see Moscow, Harper, Britta Gown).

• A pear-shaped body type has a narrow waist with larger hips, thighs, and bottom. Choose a dress that has a loose and flowy skirt and one that draws attention upwards. A dress with a plunging neckline or a beaded bodice (like Amelia Gown).

• For the hourglass figure, a fit and flare dress works best to highlight the natural shape of your body (see Leanne dress).
