How To Pick Your Prom Dress – Hourglass Shape
My biggest concern for hourglass shaped women, other than muffin top, is maintaining balance. If you’re an hourglass shape then you already have a great shape. However, if you draw too much attention to your top or your bottom you’ll lose balance.
This fantastic vintage-inspired dress has slight wide-set shoulder straps and a slight flare to the skirt. The higher waist keeps your legs looking long.
The second dress has less wide shoulders and a pencil skirt. It’s a little more fitted than the first dress, but it is still balanced. It also brings a lot of attention to your tiny waist. It also has a high waist for a lean leg look.

How To Pick Your Prom Dress – Apple Shape
Tummy bulge is an Apple Shaped Woman’s biggest problem. It’s hard to find clothes that fit right. It’s frustrating, I know. But that is why I am here!
A flared skirt and wider shoulder straps are really going to de-emphasize your larger tummy. That’s why this first dress is great for you. It’s got a classic silhouette that is flattering for every body type because of the hourglass shape that it creates. For some extra attention on the bust, you can do what I did here and put a lace camisole underneath the dress.
The second dress has a wide V neckline and cap sleeves that will help to minimize the look of your tummy. The side gathered drape of the dress will do the same. The straight skirt pulls the line of the dress down from the widest point which helps to even out your shape. This dress could look even better if it had lace under the hem.
Both of these dresses help to elongate your look. I wouldn’t go shorter than the bottom of the knee.

How To Pick Your Prom Dress – Boy Shape
You don’t have to be straight-laced just because you have a straight body. I’m here to give you some curves with some flare.
The first dress that I picked for you is fun and funky. It also gives you some shape in the hips, pulls some attention to your bust and divides up your torso with some sheen at the waist.
The second dress that I found has gathering under the bust to give you some shape there. It pulls in at the waist. The pleated skirt gives you some shape in the booty and lengthens the line of the leg.
High-waist anything(like these two dresses) looks great on boy shapes because it makes your legs look like they go on forever while breaking up your torso. But you have to be extremely careful with the length if it’s a skirt or shorts. Too short looks even shorter with a higher waist.

How To Pick Your Prom Dress – Column Shape
I’m going to use two different techniques with two different dresses for you, Columns.
The first dress is for camouflaging. The top of the dress is very straight down. It doesn’t bring any attention to your bust. There are cute tapework designs on the bottom of the skirt that really draw the attention down. If you’re going to wear a dress like this one, be sure to pull some attention to the waist.
The second dress does pull in at the waist. But it doesn’t hide your bust. It balances it out with this incredibly fun and full skirt.
