As a woman, whatever shape or age, you want to look ravishing. Even
more so when it comes to special occasions such as the prom. The problem is
compounded even more if the wearer is a teenager because she feels that all
eyes will be on her. Never fear, however, no matter what your body shape there
is an evening dress for you that will make you not only look terrific but feel
terrific too.
Love Your Body, Love Yourself:
To an extent all women are self-conscious about their body, more so
teenagers who tend to read magazines that portray skinny models as fashionable,
trendy and confident, however, the sooner you realize that is not the case and
that you should not generally aspire to be a super model, unless its a career
move. This is not what "real" women look like. Love yourself come
what may.
Before you embark on your shopping spree check out your reflection and
love it. Once you have made the decision of which bits of you you'd like to
make the most of and those that you'd rather disguise, then you can begin
thinking styles and colors.
Making The Best Of Your Best Bits:
A petite, shorter girl may want to wear a dress that creates the
illusion of length both in body and legs. A shorter hem line will attract
attention to your legs also an empire waist will appear to make your torso
longer. Wear a pair of stiletto heals to add extra height.
Larger ladies have a large style choice of evening dresses. For
example, if she is pear shaped, why not show off that botty with a figure
hugging design or even a skirt that drapes vertically and a bodice, that will
create a balanced effect. For those with an apple shaped figure you should
consider V-necks and an empire waistline to visually balance your upper body,
but be proud of your curves, flaunt them.
Those women who have an hour glass figure have a balanced shape so can
choose virtually any dress to flatter their figure in any way they wish. If
they want to emphasize the upper body then wear a fitted corset or bodice or
wear a pageant dress for that elegant look. Also a mix of complimentary colors
would be a great enhancing feature.
Really thin girls could employ dress styles that incorporate copious
amounts of cloth, gathered or shirred or perhaps you could attract the gaze to
your bustby using embellished or contrasting
color styles.
Large busted girls may want to enhance the bust area further by
utilizing a strapless dress or search for a prom dress that has widely spaced
straps to understate your chest. A V-neck is also good for diverting the eye
towards your face.
After all is said and done it must be said that there is a prom or
cocktail dress for all body types and also that beauty comes from within.
