An hourglass shape is a balanced structure with average to large bust and hips, paired with a small waist. Body con dresses, pencil skirts, strapless dresses, you can carry anything you want. You can avoid wearing loosely fitting and baggy dresses.

Pear-shaped:

Body shaped like a pear aka the triangle-shaped. This body type is ideal for halters, deep necklines, loose skirts, tutu skirts that cinch around the waist. To accentuate your curves more, you can wear bright or light color tones above the waist, and darker tones below the waist.

Rectangle Shaped:

For women, the slender body type, highlighting the waist in your cocktail dress would be a great way to look sexy and sassy.
