– You have an A morphology: :

your shoulders are narrower than your hips and your chest is small. Remember to emphasize your waist! Fitted dresses with a trapezoid shape in flowing fabrics, skater dresses with flounced sleeves are made for you. Abuse necklines or boat necks, which attract attention. Lace on the shoulders is the absolute weapon! Beware of too tight shapes, straight dresses with horizontal stripes or with patterns on the bottom, they are definitely not the right choice…

your waist is marked and your chest is generous, your shoulders and hips are more or less the same width. Opt for a slim fit made of flowing material. Adding a wide belt to mark your waist is definitely the right idea! You may also prefer a hide-and-seek or skater evening gown, with décolleté, boat neck or thin straps, or even an empire dress, which will make a statement with your silhouette. Dresses that are too loose or formless, and dresses that are tight at the hips should be avoided.

– You have an X morphology:

your hips and shoulders are the same width, your waist is marked. Your silhouette allows you to explore all styles of cut: strapless dress, tight dress, sheath dress.

your shoulders are narrower than your hips, your waist is not very pronounced and your chest is generous. Let only your curves show, hide your roundness…You may prefer dark evening dresses in plain colours or with small patterns. For cuts, straight, trapeze or wallet dresses with structured fabrics, dresses tightened at the waist or under the chest with flowing fabrics. Don’t forget to use necklines to attract attention!  Don’t focus on shapes that are too wide, or on the contrary too tight, dresses tightened at the hips or draped on the belly…

– You have an V morphology:

your shoulders are narrower than your hips, your waist is not very pronounced and your chest is generous. Choose an outfit that lengthens your silhouette!

your shoulders are broad, your waist and hips not very pronounced. Choose a cut that emphasizes your hips and lengthens your silhouette. Empire dresses are ideal!
