How to Find The Perfect Prom Dress For Your Body Type

Hello everyone!

How are you? Next week I am going to my prom dress resp. I intend to buy it because I feel that it will be really hard to find a dress that suits me perfectly and that I really like. Thus, I informed myself about which dress would suit my body shape beforehand and I thought I might give you an overview of all body types and examples for each one. Of course, there exist more body types than these four, but I think your perfect dress can be deduced from these suggestions. This is the second part of my Prom Series. If you missed the first part in which I talked about how you can choose the perfect neckline of you dress according to your body type, then have a look here. (Link) 

Petite Body Type

✧ stay with short dresses
✧ sweet, feminine
✧ avoid a lot of fabric on the bottom

Athletic & Rectangle Body Type

✧ create an illusion of curves by enhancing your waist
✧ ruffles especially on bust and hips
✧ show you athletic body with form-fitting dresses
✧ two colours

Pear Shape

✧ highlight your upper body e.g. eye-catching neckline
✧ ruffles or special detail on the top
✧ go for a full skirt on the bottom

Apple Body Type

✧ empire waist dresses
✧ solid colour
✧ try to include fabric on the bottom
✧ avoid bandage dresses or anything that highlights the midsection

Hourglass Body Type

✧ can wear almost everything
✧ enhance your waist with a waist band
✧ dress that is fitted on top and waist
✧ A-Line skirt or mermaid dress

Okay, these are my suggestions when you want to buy a new prom dress, however, you can also apply that to buying a normal dress. I hope that this might help you during your shopping. But again, as I have mentioned in my first Prom Series post, it's all about feeling comfortable and self-confdent and when you really like a dress, then just buy it. Nevertheless, it is also nice to highlight your best features and to really get the best out of your body. 

How did your previous Prom Dress look like?

How to Find The Perfect Dress Neckline For Your Body Type

Hello everyone!

With this post I want to introduce you to my new Prom Series that I am going to do during the next weeks. I have my final graduation party coming up and this is quite similar to Prom and as we don't have the typical Prom here in Germany, I thought it would be a nice idea to share with you my best tricks and tips for Prom. So today we start with how you choose the perfect neckline for your prom dress according to your body type in order to enhance all your beautiful features.

If you don't know which body type you are, then click here and I will give you an easy instruction how you can find this out.

 The Necklines

Sweetheart 
Good For: hourglass, apple, fuller bust, nice neck
Avoid: if you are not comfortable with your neck area

Strapless

Good For: medium bust, toned arms, nice collarbone

Avoid: too small or too full bust, broad shoulders, fuller arms

Square Neckline

Good For: athletic body type, broad shoulders, small to medium bust
Avoid: large chest, narrow shoulders

V-Neck

Good For: hourglass, apple, fuller bust, full-figured, broad shoulders, large chest

Avoid: pear shape, if you want to draw attention away from bust

Spaghetti Straps

Good For: pear shape, narrow shoulders, smaller bust

Avoid: apple, athletic body type, hourglass, large shoulders, fuller bust

One-Shoulder

Good For: pear shape, nice collarbone, toned arms

Avoid: athletic body type, broad shoulders

Bateau
Good For: pear shape, narrow shoulders, smaller bust, nice collarbone
Avoid: apple, fuller arms, broad shoulders







According to your specific body features and your body type, you should be able to find your perfect neckline. Personally, I have an athletic body with broad shoulders and a smaller bust, so a square neckline would look best for me. However, if you find a beautiful dress that you totally adore, but it doesn't have your specific neckline, just get it. At the end, it's all about feeling self-confident because that's what people will recognise the most. I hope this was a bit helpful and let me know whether there exists prom where you live.

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,
