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.
