Little Black Dress for Different Body Shapes
Little Black Dress for Different Body Shapes
The little black dress or LBD is a must-have for any woman. They are always fashionable and in style and are classic, timeless, seasonless and is a great party dress for all times. It epitomizes simple chic and could be dress up or down with the right accessory. In choosing a little black dress, always make sure that it suits your body shape. To help you in your choice here are some suggestion of what to look for in an LBD for several body shapes:

Bottom heavy figure
The simplest way to balance a bottom heavy figure is to opt for an LBD with a fuller skirt that glides over the lower half of the body. When cinched at the waist with a strapless or fitted halter, it accentuates the trim upper half of the body and is a fantastic way to camouflage heavy hips,
Plus size
The LBD for a plus size lady is simple with very little embellishment that can be dressed up with the right accessory such as a striking necklace. A wrap dress in a non-clingy fabric is the perfect little black dress for plus size apple –shaped ladies.
Petite
The ideal little black dress for a petite frame is one that lengthens the figure such as a fitted strapless sheath dress or a wraparound dress, both give an elongated silhouette. Sleeveless and halter neck styles that reach just above the knee provide enough cover while generating a longer outline. To complete the look make sure that it is paired with heels never flat shoes.
Wide shoulders
If you have wide shoulders keep away from capacious tops or puff sleeves with a fitted skirt, this style will emphasize the width of your shoulders. Go for LBDs with balancing features such as a the one-shoulder top that is cinched at the waist for that perfect hour-glass figure or skims down the hips for a sexy and alluring look.
Skinny slim
If you’re too thin a little black dress that creates some volume is your best option but don’t go overboard with the ruffles, layers and puff sleeves, these may give you a little girl look that is not exactly what you want. A crossover dress with ruffled deep v-neckline with a three quarter sleeve and full skirt will add volume to your upper half at the same time give you a fuller figure than what you actually have.

The bubble skirt is one very controversial fashion style that has people taking sides for and against, without any middle ground. You either like it or you don’t. A bubble skirt is a voluminous skirt that bears a resemblance to a balloon, flirtier and fuller than a straight skirt. But the bubble skirt is flattering to the right body shape and punishing to a wrong body shape. This fashion style is great for skinny girls or for women with a boyish figure but awful for anyone with even an extra inch on their hips. For girls who have the kind of figure that could carry off a bubble skirt, they should wear it more often. It is a very feminine, flirty and trendy outfit and it accentuates the legs so if you have lovely legs then show them off.
A bubble dress should be worn with a clinched and a tighter or fitted top. A bubble skirt should be worn also with a fitted or tight top such as a tube. The tight waist with the poof skirt will give a slim body a sexier silhouette. When worn with high heels a short bubble skirt will show off great legs at its best advantage. The best length for a bubble skirt is either above the knee or below the knee for it to fall and flow perfectly. If you have knobby knees to hide, then opt for a bubble skirt just below the knee.
Bubble dress is also a great design or style for a cocktail or evening dress in fact it is a great design for a dress for any occasion. A short strapless bubble cocktail dress that fits at the top and is clinched at the waist is ultra feminine and sexy. Long bubble evening dress is ooh! so elegant, glamorous and sexy!!!!

Think the Olsen Twins. You’ll get the picture. Before divulging into the basics of Boho-chic, there is one BIG tip on what NOT to do when you want to channel this type of dressing. Do not ever PILE on too many layers of clothes, unless you want to look like a coat rack. This look is just a fine line away from being fab to gab.
Now that we have tackled about the cons here is Boho-Chic 101
Since The Bohemian look is about being free-spirited and having the 60s and 70s as its main foundation, Boho chic has color as one of the key elements. Earthy colors in black,brown, khaki, cream and white are highly associated with this style.
You can add other colors to complement the basic hues of Boho-chic like gold, silver, gray and deep purple. Keep the color combinations in 3-4 colors max. Who says you cannot add pastels colors to the basic color palette? If the above mentioned colors are not within you color wheel, you can always try on different hues and shades.
Boho-Chic is all about layering
But as mentioned earlier, do not layer too much. Keep it at about 4 layers as well. Keep in mind the length of the longest layer. If it is too long, use a wide belt to shorten it. Use the same belt to make a shapeless dress into something so chic.
If the clothes make you look smaller, remove that from the layers. If it draws the attention away from the face, remove it as well. Layering may make certain types of body shapes look bigger that they normally are. So be careful on that too.
