How to choose a printed dress by body type

Colorful and intricate prints will become your fashion secret weapon. You may be in the minimalist camp, but sometimes pure color loses out in showiness to colorful patterns, and Dries Van Noten, Richard Quinn and many other talented designers can agree with this. At the same time, we must not forget that sometimes prints are very insidious. If you are worried about the “ears” on the hips and excessively lush breasts, you need to know some secrets so that flowers and abstract geometric shapes are on guard of your feminine beauty, and not emphasize flaws. We decided to tell you about four basic styles so that you can choose the right dresses for your body type.

Shirt dress for large girls

During the Spring-Summer 2020 Fashion Weeks, we saw many variations of the shirt dress – at Loewe, Salvatore Ferragamo, Simone Rocha, The Row … As a rule, such a loose silhouette in combination with light soft fabrics looks most complimentary on women who are inclined to overweight. Accentuate feminine curves with a wide leather belt or chain belt.

Pleated dress for those without a waist

Floral variegated pleats this season attracted Rushemi Botter and Lisi Herrebrug, the creative directors of Nina Ricci, the most. This style of dress will look best on girls with a not very pronounced waist and narrow shoulders – it is pleating that will help you to emphasize in the right places. To make the silhouette look more like an hourglass, also don’t neglect the waistband or belt.

Loose dress to the floor with a high neck for very thin girls

Another great option for those with narrow shoulders. We saw just such models of dresses at the Chloé and Paco Rabanne shows. Long loose outfits made of mobile, flying fabric are ideal for those who want to hide excessive thinness and make the neck visually longer. If you have large breasts, be careful, because this style can be fat.

Fitted dress with puffy sleeves for owners of large breasts

A magnificent bust is an undoubted advantage for many women. To make your look harmonious and proportional, we advise you to wear fitted midi dresses with a print this summer. It is better to choose models with puffy sleeves and a voluminous skirt, as in the Paco Rabanne show. Then the chest will not cause a feeling of imbalance compared to the legs.
