A-line
…The ideal dress, most popular because its suits everyone.
***Perfect fit***
This is a fitted bodice shape with an A-line skirt. It hugs the waist, so it creates a slimmer waistline and flatters the bust. If you have wider hips, the A-Line will cover them up effectively and if you have narrower hips the cut of the skirt will give you some shape.
What to avoid
The tighter bodice will tend to draw attention to a smaller bust so it will be more flattering if you add a little padding to balance the look. This can be with secretive padding added to the dress or a good bra
. A heavy bust will need some structure - often this support is already built in to the bodice, but if not then boned corsetry is a must.
