It is finally time for the winter Holiday's! We all are looking forward to the holiday's. Especially the parties, dinners and get together's. Here are some tips for dresses for each body type. All these dress are also under $100!
Petite
From Left To Right: Ruched Strapless Dress from Victoria's Secret for $78, Off Shoulder Tired Dress from Forever21 for $22.80
You are Petite if you are under 5'6". To instantly add height wear a short mini dress and heels. Make sure that if you are to show leg don't show too much chest! ;) If you are petite but on the plus side look to the pear shape below but make sure the dress hits ABOVE the knee!

Athletic/Straight
From left to right: LC Lauren Conrad Tired Mixed Media Dress from Kohls for $35.99, Taylor Dress Embellished Ponte Knit Sheath Dress from Nordstrom for $81.90
You look down and you have no curves, not a big chest, and are...straight. This means you are an athletic shape. To create curves that you don't have wear dresses with embellishments and ruffles like the first one. Also sheaths will surprisingly create curves for your shape. You can also get away with wearing a high neck because you don't have a big chest.

Pear
From left to right: Suite 7 Chiffon Surplice Dress from Kohls for $74.99, Brocade Tulle Dress from Forever21 for $27.80.
You are a pear shape if you have a small chest but bigger hips and thighs. To camouflage those pesky hips and thighs wear a dress that cinches in at the waist and flairs from the hips. You can also wear a strapless dress due to not having a bigger chest. This can put attention to your chest and draw eyes upwards. Look for embellishments and also deep v-necks. This will draw away attention from your hips!
Busty
From left to right: Both are from Victoria's Secret: Lace-Back V-Neck Dress for $78, Knot Front Matte Jersey Dress for $69.
You are busty if you have slender hips and legs but a big chest and broad shoulders. Usually a D cup and above. To support those girls wear a dress that has thick straps so that you can wear a supportive bra. Also the dress should have a v-neck and a cinched waist to create a hourglass figure.
Curvy
From left to right: Leopard Print Stretch- Satin Tank Dress from Newport- news for $69, Ruched Multi-way dress from Victoria's Secret for $79.
You are the ideal body shape if you are an hourglass or curvy shape. You have an equal proportion. Your hips are equal to your shoulder width. I am an hourglass shape for reference. If you have curves why not flaunt them? These dresses will flatter your curves and you will look sexy! Also a v-neck dress with a cinched in waist will flatter your curves. Make sure that the dress hits to the knee. Especially if it is a tight fitting dress like the one above. If you are on the plus side and curvy check out the plus size further down.

Apple
From left to right: Beaded Crinkle Chiffon Dress from Newport-News for $69, M.S.S.P Jersey Dress from Dillards for $29.40
You are an apple shape if you have a "pooch". You have slender legs and your shoulders are not broad. To camouflage that pesky belly of yours wear an empire waist. Wear a v-neck to draw eyes upwards and cinches right under the bust. This will camouflage any belly you may have. I love the second dress for thanksgiving. Wear a dress that hits above the knee to show off those slender legs! And of course those pair of heels will further show them off!
Plus Size
From left to right: All from Avenue. Floral Applique Empire Dress for $54.90, Cascade Ruffle Crossover Dress for $69.90.
Who says if you are over size 14 you can't wear cute dresses? Once being overweight myself I always struggled to find that one special dress. Avenue has a cute selection for dresses for sizes up to 32. They also have other holiday clothing if you don't prefer to wear dresses (I know how you feel ;)). When you are plus size you need to support that bust and camouflage those hips and thighs. The first dress up above will do just that. If you want to wear any ruffles or embellishments make sure that the ruffles cascade down! If you want to wear any print be very careful. Try it on to make sure it doesn't make you appear any bigger- especially that mid section. Always look for dresses that have v-necks and cinched in waists to emphasize the small part of your figure and draw that eye up to your beautiful face!
I had so much fun shopping for each and every body shape. I wish I could wear all of them! But unfortunately with those petite dresses my butt will be peeking out (lol).
Also the tips for anyone who is tall (5'8" and above- I am tall) make sure the dress hits to your knee. You can always buy a longer dress to be safe and get it hemmed! That is what I have to do sometimes. I always get bummed looking at Forever21 dresses because I know I won't be able to wear them without my bum hanging out (not a good thing!). So just make sure that it covers the goods! And follow what your shape is above.
Hope this helped you all and have fun shopping! Also have fun wherever your planning to wear your dress!
Have a wonderful evening!
