LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT DRESS?
Wondering what kind of dresses suits your body type? Look no further! Satine Gowns will be answering your concerns to find the best-fitted dress for you and make sure you look your best on all occasions.
Before looking at the types of dresses, we would need to meet at the middle point. Yes! We are referring to your waist! Where the waistband is allocated on your dresses makes a massive difference in how you would look for your body type.
There are a total of three different locations which waistbands are found on a dress, and they are
Empire-Waist (Under the bust), A-Line (Fitted at your natural waistline) and Drop Waist (Sits at the upper hip).
EMPIRE WAIST
The empire dresses are dresses which are fitted through the bust. The main difference between the A-Line and an Empire Dress is that from the bust down, the empire just flows instead of making a distinctly angular shape at the bottom.
The Empire Waist dress is basically suited for just about anyone. Regardless if you're an apple-curved individual or an individual with curvy sides, the Empire Dresses would help to complement your bust shape and minimise the other section of your body. Even if you're a petite size individual, this style will help further define your silhouette - especially in maxi length.
A-LINE
An A-Line dress are dresses that fit naturally to your waistline, helping any individual to minimise the look of the mid-section of the body such as your hips and further enhancing your best section at the same time!
DROP WAIST
The Drop Waist Dresses are dresses with waistbands sitting right at your hips. The key to looking the best with a Drop Waist dress is to make sure that the clothing is not tightly fit to any section of your body. Allowing it to flow and hangs freely!
Moreover, a Drop Waist dress would look fantastic on athletic, lean and boxy shapes individuals to bring out a modern and casual look.
